0:00.0	I want to let you guys know that I will be performing March 7th at the castle theater in Maui, Hawaii, or Kahului, Kahului.
0:12.0	Those tickets will go on sale Tuesday, February 11th at 10 a.m. Hawaiian time, so Aloha, Mahalo, Gangalo.
0:24.0	I'm really excited about that. I need a vacation.
0:28.0	The guest is really the Patrick Mahomes of Creativity. He's a professor at the University of Connecticut.
0:35.0	He's written countless books, including Creativity 101. It is Professor James Kaufman.
0:58.0	Of course, I've also heard when somebody has a sharp object in you.

2:05.0	But some of this stuff's really intuitive, and some of it not necessarily what you'd think.
2:12.0	When you say it's a field that's just starting to take off, like because recently I was actually talking to my niece and I said imagination.
2:21.0	And she goes, what is it? Is it on your phone? And she thought it was an app.
2:27.0	And it shook me to my core. I was like, oh, man, it made me think like, oh, Creativity is dying.
