Summary

I am SO thrilled that Austin Kleon joined us!!! This episode is about the essence of creativity and the unexpected sources of creativity. In this discussion, we talk about all the following topics: Austin shares his journey as a voracious reader, emphasizing the pleasure and richness of reading. Austin and Ginny discuss the importance of quitting books to enhance your reading experience. Influences and inspirations are dissected, advocating for a deeper understanding of the sources that shape our creativity. Austin's upbringing in a non-artistic environment highlights the notion that true creativity lies in crafting one's life. The concept of an analog workspace is explored, offering a sanctuary for disconnected reflection and creative thinking. Austin stresses the significance of engaging the whole body in creative pursuits, from walking to hands-on activities. Embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for creativity is a recurring theme throughout the conversation. Austin encourages a multidisciplinary approach to life, rejecting the pressure to specialize and advocating for the preservation of diverse interests. The episode concludes with insights on boredom, stillness, and the rediscovery of outdoor spaces as avenues for creativity. Tune in to uncover how uncertainty, diverse experiences, and embracing the mundane can ignite your creative spark. ** Purchase your copy of Steal Like an Artist here >> https://amzn.to/49EyVt1 Learn more about Austin here >> https://austinkleon.com/ ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
