Welcome to our very first episode of The Creativity Companion! 

Dan Nestle, creator and host of The Dan Nestle Show, and Andrew Silberman, author of Get a G.R.I.P. on Creativity, are teaming up to talk about all things creation and creativity. Get ready to embark on an enlightening journey as they break down inspiration, innovation, and collaboration! 

In this episode, Dan and Andrew are connecting to unpack our understanding of creativity, how they exercise their creative muscle, and the different facets of creativity that foster imagination, problem-solving, leadership, and more. They also offer you some valuable practices to begin discovering or recovering your creative energy, such as meditation and free writing. 

“Discovery is finding that inspiration, finding something to get your creativity going in some ways.” – Dan (3:22 )

Through this podcast, Andrew and Dan want to send you out into your life armed with this understanding of creativity: 

“We’re here to say that everybody is creative, and you owe it to yourself and you owe it to your job or your family or whatever to open up that creative vein, to discover that creativity.” – Dan (10:48 )
