About this episode
This episode discusses how to create without force and the impact of environment on creativity.
If you’re a creative who knows you’re meant to create but keeps escaping your own creative work, this episode is for you. I share why hard discipline no longer works, how your environment is shaping your behavior more than you think, and the one shift that can make you actually want to stay to build and create again.
