I'm talking today to an amazing human, a near and dear friend, Tina Seelig, who was also a professor of mine when I was at Stanford. She was a founding member of the d.school at Stanford and is the executive director of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program, the largest endowed fellowship program in the world. She has written 17 books on everything from creativity to entrepreneurship and everything in between. If you want to hear directly from somebody who has shaped how tens of thousands of people approach the creative process and who teaches on this, check this out.

What if your best ideas aren't something you create — but something you receive? In this conversation, I sit down with Chip Conley — founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, previous Head of Global Hospitality at Airbnb, and founder of the Modern Elder Academy — to explore his creative process and what he's learned about himself through decades of building businesses. Listen in to hear why he believes the most generative thing you can do is stop forcing and start listening.
