After reading a beautiful piece of writing about Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke's football strike partnership in 1999 by Matt Dickinson, I was reminded of the vital importance of our creative partners in life.

To help you recognise and value yours, I work through some that spring to mind in my life, how they vary, and why they matter for our creativity.

I dig into:

Why partners matter for our creativity
Types of partners
The different ways they nourish us
The difference between long-term, momentary, disparate, and imaginary partners
