Welcome to The Halopod-cast.
Are young people truly creative — or are we just afraid to try?
In Episode 9 of The Inner & Outer Leader, Ivy and RaeAnne unpack the myths around creativity and innovation. From the belief that “only artists are creative” to the idea that innovation must always be big, disruptive, or tech-driven, they explore what really holds people back — fear of failure, pressure to conform, and chasing the “safe” path.
Through stories of local creators and entrepreneurs, they show how creativity is a skill that can be nurtured, not just a talent you’re born with. Whether it’s small improvements, bold risks, or learning through mistakes, this episode reminds us that innovation is simply creativity put into action.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not the creative type,” this one’s for you.
Episode Highlights
Ivy and RaeAnne challenge the idea that creativity belongs to a select few. They talk about fear of embarrassment, the “kiasu” mindset, and why so many of us hold back from sharing ideas. From accidental inventions like Post-it Notes to local entrepreneurs who built something from scratch, the episode explores how creativity grows through experimentation, collaboration, and persistence. Big or small, every idea has the potential to create impact — if we’re willing to try.
