Creativity can emerge from our most vulnerable moments. When we choose to face emotion rather than suppress it, we often uncover new ways to heal, connect, and create.In this powerful solo episode, Brian Bogert shares the emotional story behind his first children’s book, The Cat Who Watched the Wind. Written in just 13 days, the book began as a way to process the near loss of his family’s cat, Fury. What followed was an unexpected journey of grief, love, legacy, and synchronicity.Brian walks through how the book came to life, the surprising role artificial intelligence played in the illustration process, and the meaningful timing of its release.
