Summary
Welcome again to another bonus episode of How We Made Your Mother!
It’s our final bonus episode before we launch Season 2 towards the end of October. In this upcoming season we’ve already got a bunch of special guests lined up and a VERY special announcement about our podcast which we’re just not quite allowed to announce right now. So stay tuned.
This week we bring you an interview that Alek did on the new podcast The Craft of Being, hosted by Anna Schumacher.
The Craft of Being is a podcast via a series on conversations where we dig into what the heck even is CREATIVITY? Undefined, yet definitive. Each week we will talk to a different human about their experience of their own creativity, and how it shows up –both planned and unexpectedly– across art, work, life, and the pursuit of… well, everything.
