In this episode of The Smoosh Podcast, Melis and Ben dive into the many faces of creativity, from the accidental to the deliberate, the playful to the profound. We explore how creativity shows up in everyday life, leadership, and complex problem solving, all while championing the idea that we’re all creative (Yes, even you. Especially you ;-). With stories of paperclips, failed recipes, and the muse at 4am, this episode is both a warm permission slip and a call to play.

Notes:

We mention several potent books about the creative act which we highly recommend.

The Creative Act by Rick Ruben

Big Magic by Elizabeth GilbertOn Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

Ben also mentions a surprise at the end of the podcast. This is a short film he made many moons ago called MILK, a silly silent comedy. It was a pure creative act, just for fun. Enjoy!
