Summary

If you’ve graduated college through the conventional school system, you have spent upwards of 15,000 hours behind a desk learning in a system that was designed to value efficiency over originality and diversity of thought. Yet, fuel for creative pursuits are found when we can tap into our own originality and uniqueness. So how do we access that space more frequently?

Follow the fear.

0:00.0	Hey, everybody, what's up? It's Chase. Welcome to another episode of the show. Today is a micro show.
0:11.0	And I wanted to take just a couple of minutes today. This is going to be a short one, but I wanted to explore a moment around the concept of following your fear.
0:21.6	In order to orient us, I want to start off by with a little reminder, this idea that
0:28.3	creative thinking, it can be hard, right?
0:31.5	It takes energy.
0:32.6	And our little three pound brain, that thing between our ears, even though it's only three pounds, it burns 20% of our
0:40.0	body's calories. So let's be clear. There's a lot of work that goes into all that creative
0:46.8	thinking. And, you know, parallel to that, these ideas that we generate, these new ideas, they tend to be disruptive
0:56.7	to our lives and to, you know, the people around us. After all, most folks, and sometimes our

1:46.3	optimum learning times were different or whose subjects that they wanted to pursue could be,
1:52.3	you know, deviate from the mass culture. And so we start to put these ideas together,
2:00.7	these ideas of how much energy it takes and things in motion.
2:04.6	And yet there's a way of doing things that culture is prescribing.
2:08.6	And in a way, all schools, for example, they're prep schools, right?
2:12.6	Some prepare you.
2:13.6	Most, I will say, prepare you for industrial age careers. You know, your teachers,
