Their book together is called Leading With Heart: Five Conversations That Unlock Creativity, Purpose, and Results, and it’s already spent a few weeks on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.

432: How Creativity Rules the World with Maria Brito

by

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.

408: How to Lead a Life of Significance by Embracing Your Trials with Warwick Fairfax

by

I have so much respect for today’s guest. Most people, especially at age 29, would have crumbled under the weight of losing control of their family’s one-hundred-fifty-year-old company.

Not Warwick Fairfax. Now, that’s not to say what he went through wasn’t incredibly difficult. It certainly was.

But Warwick is not your average guy. Now 30+ years removed from the crucible that situation was for him, he’s sharing what he learned about this process with the rest of us.

Before you think, “What do I possibly have in common with a man who once ran a $700MM company?”, let me ask you: Have you ever experienced an event that devastated you? I know I have. Several in fact.

What matters for those of us who find ourselves in that situation is how we choose to respond. Warwick’s new book, Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance will show you the way.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Warwick and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
