I’ve been thinking a lot about how creative and well-known people show up in the world, and while doing research on the matter, I discovered the results of a number of studies.

I was particularly drawn to one summarization that discussed some of the stark opposites that live inside those who develop and express their creativity as a lifelong pursuit: artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, even some athletes, and others.

Because the way you and I show up in the world is inextricably connected to our inner workings and motivations, understanding more is a chance to understand better - both yourself and the creatives around you.

I deeply value the time you spend here with me. Thank you,
