This episode blew our mind to bits. Kind of like that emoji, where your head pops off?
The heart of the episode is about the path of a creative, road less taken. The fact is we are all creative, every single one of us. The scientist, the business person, the painter, the social scientist - when we are thinking about a problem, reframing this problem, it involves creativity, that what “innovation” in essence is about. When we think of a solution, it involves putting together some frames in a new way. Creativity affords us that license of freedom, but before creativity can really flow, we have to examine all the doubts the fears, all that blocks us from within.
When starting Variety Pack, we didn’t really know where this journey was going to lead us, we still don’t. This episode is a microcosm of that macro. We start this episode talking about perspective and reference points, how it matters but yet how sometimes it’s just difficult to find the horizon when the seas are stormy within.
This episode is about being, how to find stillness in those waters, and it doesn’t come from suppression, it comes from close self-examination.
A lot of what we discuss in this episode from May 2018, we are still working on, but now we are just a little bit quicker, little bit more knowledgeable, have a few more tools from previous experiences to move through some of the same issues quicker iteratively; like a spiral, we get closer to ourselves.
