We think we know what it means to “be creative” but do we really? Or have we been subtly indoctrinated by a culture that so worships productivity and achievement that we have missed what creativity actually is, what it means, and why it matters? In this season of the podcast, I’ll ask those questions and more. I’ll find some answers, I’m sure, and leave others to a mystery I may never fully understand. I hope you’ll come along with me for the ride. 

In today’s episode, I unpack the symbolism of the “blank page” and how when we set out to make something, we start with nothing. If creativity is about making something from nothing, then how we view emptiness, silence, boredom and the heavy feeling of “nothing to say” matters. If you’ve ever wanted to create something — a business, a family, a community, a way of life — but had no idea where to start, this episode is for you.
