Where do great ideas come from?
Is creativity something you’re born with…
or something you can build?
In this inspiring and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Nancy Napier—professor, author, and global thinker—who has spent over 35 years studying creativity, innovation, and how people generate breakthrough ideas.
From Vietnam to Botswana to her own backyard, Nancy has explored how different cultures, disciplines, and experiences shape the way we think—and how stepping outside the familiar can unlock powerful “aha” moments.
But this conversation goes beyond creativity in theory.
It’s about how to think differently…
live more curiously…
and reinvent yourself at any stage of life.
We also explore Nancy’s bold transition into fiction writing after decades in academia—proving that it’s never too late to start something new.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How creativity actually works (and how to unlock more of it)
Why working across disciplines sparks better ideas
Practical ways to create more “aha” moments in your life
The courage it takes to become a beginner again
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, creative, or someone seeking fresh perspective—this conversation will challenge you to think bigger, explore deeper, and embrace the unknown.
Because sometimes…
the best ideas don’t come from thinking harder.
They come from thinking differently.
