In this episode of Creative OnPurpose Live, Scott explores the heart of meaningful creative work—where art meets audience, and every act of creation becomes an opportunity to serve with intention and integrity. Drawing on insights from Seth Godin’s altMBA, a 30-year career as a professional musician, and his Purpose-Driven Prosperity Model, Scott unpacks how to elevate your everyday creativity into art that resonates and endures.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

* How defining creativity as “bringing forth the new” sets the stage for purposeful expression

* Why sharing your work publicly—and with a specific audience in mind—transforms it into true art

* The soundcheck metaphor: what vetting your sound—and your collaborators—reveals about respect for your craft and your audience

* The pitfalls of “volume over value” and how dialing down invites listeners to lean in and connect

* Attention to detail: from setup to delivery, every choice reflects your professionalism and empathy

* Translating musician-learned principles into business: caring for collaborators, clients, and community with equal rigor

* Applying the Purpose-Driven Prosperity Model to align your strengths, values, and ideal lifestyle for sustainable success

In this impromptu livestream conversation, Scott Perry sits down with Solopreneur Success Circle member Anna Kohler Smith to tackle one of today’s most pressing questions: How do we harness AI without sacrificing the messy, imperfect humanity that builds trust and sparks real change?

Together, they explore:

* The real problem: Why sheer information overload leaves us hungry for authentic connection

* When to lean in—and when to step back: Practical guidance on purpose-first creation

* The wisdom factor: How lived experience, empathy, and human judgment outpace any algorithm
