The Creative Tipping Point
The creative tipping point is that point you reach when what you create is stellar. Before you reach the creative tipping point you are in various stages of not quite liking what you create (aka sucking). You move past the creative tipping point when you reach a groove and are creating at a stellar level. It's also the point at which, if you have been doing some "marketing" along the way you finally get external validation via significant traffic or attention. The real kicker? You don't know how long it will take to get to the creative tipping point. It's different for everyone and you have to deal with an internal element which uses 4 types of kryptonite to work against you... Show notes here.
Kyle Cease Love of Not Knowing
Kyle Cease now does his talks without knowing what he is going to say. He co-creates with his audience. The idea of that is powerful when connected to anything you are creating (especially when caught up in the idea of perfection). Note: this isn't an interview with Kyle Cease. Also in this short episode is the idea of cultivating silence and not doing anything as an often ignored creative muscle. Show Notes here links to Kyle Cease talking about falling in love with not knowing and link to understanding the heart's intelligence and energy via Heart Math Institute.

Primal Habits and the CSI Board
In this weeks podcast episode I bring together ideas from past guests and solidify towards some primary creative habits. These are habits that "should" be in place regardless of what medium you are working with. Although I do recognize creativity is wide open, just as with exercise or sports there are basic moves or primal movements that are key to keeping strong. Excuse the coffee induced moments of excitement. Show notes here.
