What happens when you get out of your own way?

In this episode, Brian McDonald sits down with Jonny Ashcroft for a deep dive into flow state, that elusive creative space where ego quiets down, time disappears, and the work seems to do itself.

They explore the neuroscience behind flow, the courage it takes to relinquish control, and why stretching just beyond your current abilities is often the gateway to your best work. From professional pressure to creative obsession, they unpack what it means to show up consistently enough that inspiration can find you.

This is a conversation about selflessness, timelessness, and learning how to let the work move through you.

Let’s get started.
