The Empowered Creatives

The Zen Art of Creative Living (feat. Zach Smith)

Listen Later

You've probably heard the saying that everyone is creative. But have you ever heard that everything can be creative?

According to Zach Smith, even vacuuming can tap you into creative flow. Zach worked in the Chinese film industry for over 9 years as a screenwriter, a kung fu stuntman, and vice president of a film and co-production company until it all came crashing down. After feeling a huge loss of creativity after this event, Zach made his way back to his art through studying the science of creativity and zen principles.

Join us in this episode as we discuss:

  • The challenges of creating a working abroad
  • Rediscovering your creativity when it feels blocked
  • Trusting the process versus focusing on the outcomes
  • How getting out of flow is just as important as getting into flow
  • The zen principles and how they foster a balanced and healthy creative lifestyle
