Fact: creativity is a team sport. Yes, the actual act of making the work is sometimes a solo activity (drawing, writing, editing a film, etc) but the real driving force behind every creative pro is their community: their clients, collaborators, peers and the rest of the humans in the complex web of symbiotic relationships that give us inspiration, support and (ultimately) an income. Creativity cannot live in a vacuum. We depend on each other, like the members of any other ecosystem. If you want your work recognized, gain more opportunities, make connections or become more connected to your industry, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn't Work. His blog has been read by over 100 million people and has been featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, Big Think and many others. When I first tuned in to his work he was the #1 writer on medium.com, where he developed a significant audience around his interests. His new book, Personality Isn't Permanent, which we talk about today opens up a discussion around the popular misconception that the role of personality plays in our daily life and our future. The historical narrative that personality is fixed and it is something you "discover" is filled with fallacies, as Dr. Hardy's scientific approach to this book shows how daily intentions create our future selves. We also talk about: Why personality tests don't work (and can often reaffirm false narratives) What you can do to get out of beliefs around your "fixed" personality How to stop lingering on the past- whether it's a past success or a catastrophic failure Designing an identity to create your future self Reframing trauma Can't wait for you to dig.

As you probably know, I'm a huge believer that so much of 'THE GAME' is mental. Stress, fear, anxiety, and our natural negativity bias is always ready beat us down. One of the most powerful tools in my toolbox to harness positivity in a seemingly tough situation is a daily gratitude practice. As we head into Thanksgiving here in the states, in the middle of a pandemic and everything else, I wanted to dig into the archives and re-share my personal practice. In this episode I share the exact practice I use every morning to re-center my mindset. Join me if you're curious, and use it to jump start your own. If you'd like to fast forward directly to my guided practice, skip to about 7 minutes into the episode. Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

We all know that this world is fast paced. If you're like me, there's never enough time to do all the things you want. Naturally, the feeling of overwhelm creeps in, hindering our ability to operate as creatives and entrepreneurs. But, when it comes to pursuing the things that we love in life, we have to create time for those things. My guest today, Ari Meisel, is a creator, speaker, coach, and the author of Less Doing More Living, a resource designed to help those of us who feel overwhelmed, become more effective. Ari's teachings break down into three sections on today's show: Self-tracking and the manual of you- basically how to run an audit. Structuring your creative self. I used to think that structure was a waste of time. And suddenly after 10 years, I realized that a little bit of structure around my creativity was the thing that unlocked it. How to take back time and begin moving towards our biggest goals. Half an hour with Ari today and a whole bunch of tactical information to help you hone your craft, your practice and your life. You might want to have a notepad for this one. Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.
