432: How Creativity Rules the World with Maria Brito

Many people believe—maybe you are one of them—that you’re either born creative or you’re not. Today’s guest suggests that nothing could be further from the truth.

Why is it a room full of school children will say “yes” to the question of whether or not they’re creative, and demonstrate it in myriad ways, only for those that answer similarly to drop dramatically as they age?

I would argue, in part, it’s because school educates out of us our creativity as it forces us all into the same mold (or else).

If that’s you, never fear. You can get it back. Maria Brito, author of How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas Into Gold, illustrates how creativity is merely a series of habits, actions, and attitudes that anyone can develop—regardless of who you are and what you do.

There has never been, she says, a more crucial time than now to develop your creativity and your ability to innovate. Coming up with original ideas of value is today’s most precious resource.

430: The Secret Society of Success with Tim Schurrer

My good friend Jody Maberry, who interviewed me about my book back in Episode #385, recently reached out about introducing me to a young man who’s just published his own new book.

tim schurrer

His name is Tim Schurrer and he is the author of The Secret Society of Success: Stop Chasing the Spotlight and Learn to Enjoy Your Work (and Life) Again.

Tim says there’s a message getting a lot of airtime these days. It’s a message that says, to be successful, you have to step into the spotlight, climb the ladder, become the boss, or chase whatever version of success that’s been dangled in front of you.

But what if, Tim asks, there’s another way? What if fame, money, and power aren’t all that we should be chasing?

In his new book, Tim invites you to reevaluate your definition of success and learn a new, freer way to go about achieving it. How do you learn this approach? With the Secret Society as your guide—a community of people who know how to make an impact, whether they have the spotlight or not.
