“What is this whole creative thing anyway?”This week, it is Part 2 of the conversation where we caught up with our good friend Liz Flores on a rooftop in downtown Chicago, eating some pizza and chatting about how creativity is viewed and used in our lives. We met Liz through Under30Experiences, whose founder, Matt Wilson, joined us for Episode 1 of this podcast.
