Episode notes
Creativity Is a Choice
- Creativity is not a fixed trait you are born with; it is a choice anyone can make and grow.
- Believing creativity is innate limits your willingness to try creative acts.
Creativity Exists on a Spectrum
- Creativity exists on a continuum from mini-C to Big C, not just famous geniuses.
- Mini-C is everyday creativity, Pro-C is professional creativity, and Big C is eminent creators like Nobel laureates.
Zorana's Creative Awakening
- Zorana limited herself by believing she was not creative until she chose to engage with creativity.
- That shift culminated in writing a book about how creatives stick with ideas.
