The Creators Podcast Sorcerers: Nikola Tesla (Part One)
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943):
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor and electrical engineer whose ideas helped electrify the modern world. Born in the Austrian Empire (modern-day Croatia), he arrived in the United States in 1884 and became a central figure in the development of alternating current power systems, which made large-scale electrical grids possible. But Tesla’s imagination extended far beyond practical infrastructure. He envisioned wireless communication, wireless power, and a planet connected through invisible fields of energy. Through inventions like the Tesla coil and experiments in Colorado Springs and Wardenclyffe, he pursued ideas that often ran ahead of the technology, and the institutions, of his time. For creators, Tesla stands as a reminder that imagination often sees the future long before the world is ready for it.

This spring, I’m leading a twelve-week immersive journey: The Art of Grief: Creating Through Despair. Grief strips away what is excess. It clarifies. It refines. Through weekly transmissions, real assignments, live gatherings, and an in-person closing ceremony, we’ll explore how loss becomes language, and how sorrow can become structure for a new life. If you’re standing in the aftermath of something—and ready to make art from what remains, this is your invitation.
