Summary

IN-Q: “Defining myself is like confining myself—I undefined myself to find myself.” As we navigate globally trying times, we continue to seek outlets and positivity amidst collective difficulties. Out of tension, uncertainty, and a radical definition of daily life, art from a new perspective is born. IN-Q (aka, Adam Schmalholz), an award-winning spoken word poet and author of Inquire Within, sits down with co-CEO, Jason Wachob, for a live poetry reading and discussion about his creative process, plus: *The relationship between isolation, connectivity, and technology* *Why we should be more vulnerable and embrace therapy* *How to use your inner voice to adjust to trying times* *The power of creativity: Starting the process from a place of truth and not forcing the work* *Idea vs. ideology vs. identity and the freedom to choose your life* Learn more about the product that Jason swears by for stress support, hemp multi+ at mindbodygreen.com/hemp Whether it's an article or podcast, we want to know what we can do to help here at mindbodygreen.
