0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Becca Freeman and I'm Olivia Mentor and today we're
0:21.0	talking all about creativity. We had said in our last three things episode that we were thinking
0:27.9	about doing a listener voicemail episode about definitions of success and how they've changed. And one
0:34.5	lovely person sent us a voicemail and we didn't really get much engagement on that topic. And so I
0:39.9	guess tell us if you still want to hear that. But we decided to pivot instead and to talk about
0:44.5	creativity, which I feel like is very apt given our July book club pick conversation. Yeah, and I
0:51.9	feel like most readers have some sort of creativity in them or enjoy creativity. So I feel like it'll
0:59.0	appeal to a lot of people. I'm excited to chat about it. It's something that I feel a lot about,
1:04.3	but don't talk a lot about or think a lot about too. Yeah, I think it'll be a really good conversation.
1:10.5	I hope so. I don't know if I'm going to be very articulate about it. It's not something that I've
1:14.3	expressed. Well, that makes it more exciting, I think. Fresh feelings. You heard it here first.
1:21.1	Becca's feelings. Definitely gosh. We just spent like 30 minutes before recording where Olivia literally
1:27.9	had to sit there while I unloaded on her. I'm happy too. I'm happy too. Okay, but what's your
1:32.7	high? Share with the group, the class. Oh, yes. Okay. So my high is last weekend. We had this me
1:40.3	and four of my friends had this red hook day. And so red hook is a neighborhood in Brooklyn.
1:45.9	It's where the IKEA is. It's kind of in the more southern part of Brooklyn. There's not really good
1:52.7	subway access. So three of my friends have been doing this. They have this like annual tradition and
1:58.3	me and another friend got brought into it this year. So we went to the red hook winery, which is a
2:05.1	Brooklyn winery. You took the ferry? We took the ferry. Yeah, it was my first ferry journey.
2:11.5	I've tried to take the ferry multiple times and failed because I've gotten there right as it's
2:17.1	pulling away. And it's like every 30 minutes. So I'm like, well, I'm not waiting. It was meant to be
2:23.0	this time. Yeah, yeah. So I popped my ferry cherry. We went to red hook. We went to red hook winery
