Summary

A lot of my breakthrough creative thoughts come to me when least expected. I've also learned from an entire life in the trenches as an artist what DOESN'T contribute to them (abusing myself, bad head space, partying too much), but more importantly, what does.

I've learned that creative inspiration is something that can be directly CULTIVATED by putting yourself in a fertile environment. In today's episode, I share my personal recipe to tapping into the creative plutonium that fuels our most creative work.

Enjoy!

0:00.0	A lot of my creative breakthrough thoughts, I'll say most have come to me when I least expected it.
0:13.6	And you know this. I've talked about finding creativity for a long time. And then I was like, wait a minute. No, no, we don't find things. We actually
0:21.4	hunt them down. We cultivate that. We create meaning in our lives. And so when we think
0:30.2	about creative inspiration, I have come to know that it's all over the damn place. So in this
0:37.1	episode, I've got a little list for you. That's right. This is a micro show and I have come to know that it's all over the damn place. So in this episode, I've got a little list for you.

0:40.1	This is a micro show, and I have 12 secrets.
0:44.3	They are each worth an entire podcast, but I'm going to touch on 12 of them now with the goal of letting you know what I believe the most laser-like ways we all have of
1:00.4	unlocking creativity.
1:03.4	All right.
1:03.6	It's it's a little bit prescriptive, but I always find that these episodes or when I listen to
1:09.0	other shows, I like the high concept stuff, but there's
1:12.5	nothing quite like a to-do list, a set of things that are going to jostle something in your
1:22.0	mind, in your heart, maybe in your daily routine. And that's what this episode is all about
1:27.2	today.
1:28.7	You know something Maya Angelou said it better than anyone I've ever heard.
1:32.6	She said creativity is an infinite resource.
1:35.3	The more you use, the more you have.
1:38.3	And that rings so true to me, which is why I wrote a book to address all of the experiences that I've had with creativity,
1:46.0	or rather the most important ones that I think can contribute very meaningfully to your life.
1:51.3	That's right. It's a book. It's called Creative Calling, and I would love to hear what you think.
1:57.0	If you haven't heard of it, then you've been living under a rock because I've been talking about it.
