Ever wondered what separates those with great creative ideas from those who turn them into reality? In this episode of Classroom 5.0, I sit down with Joel Connolly, Creative Director at Blackbird Venture Capital, to explore how creativity shows up in everyday life—and how to move from inspiration to execution. Joel shares insights on the role of personal taste, the discipline required to bring ideas to life, and the biological benefits of neurodiversity in accessing flow states. If you think creativity is reserved for a select few, this conversation might just change your mind.
Key Highlights:
- 03:10: The role of personal taste in creativity
- 12:30: Creativity as a birthright
- 15:00: The distinction between craft and creativity
- 22:05: Navigating creative challenges
- 30:35: Founders and artists as creators with shared archetypes
