How can you cultivate your creativity and pursue your passions? What unique museums should you add to your US travel bucket list? 

It's a double episode today as award-winning illustrator, writer, and cartoonist Bob Eckstein shares his practical advice for pursuing your creativity and the best-of-the-best museums to visit in the United States.

Bob Eckstein has contributed to The New Yorker, The New York Times, Reader's Digest, and Smithsonian Magazine, among others. His recent book, Footnotes from the Most Fascinating Museums, serves as a smart, entertaining love letter to museums and museumgoers, filled with lush and whimsical illustrations that appear alongside stories and anecdotes from curators, museum workers, museum visitors, and more.

Don't think museums are for you? Listen in, as Bob's stories and unusual recommendations may have you reconsider!

 In addition to his list, we talk about how he overcame life's challenges to follow his passion for the arts and his experience putting the book together. Bob shares plenty of insights into the creative process and pursuing fulfillment over profit. You'll hear about his "paper airplanes" approach for choosing and sticking to projects, the one trait you need to be successful, and mindset strategies for cultivating creativity. 

What museum has left a lasting impact on you? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you'll share by sending me an audio message.
