Solo Episode:
In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the biggest misconceptions out there: the myth that creativity is a rare, magical trait reserved for a chosen few. We’ve all heard it before—phrases like “I’m just not the creative type” or “Creativity is only for artists.” But the truth is, creativity isn’t an elusive gift; it’s a skill and a mindset that anyone can cultivate.

Join me as we break down the common myths surrounding creativity and explore why these myths are so pervasive. You’ll learn why creativity is not about being naturally talented or waiting for inspiration to strike, but about tapping into a state of curiosity, play, and problem-solving that we all possess.

We’ll discuss what real creativity looks like in everyday life, why we often underestimate our own creative potential, and practical tips on how to reframe your thinking to embrace your inner creative. Whether you consider yourself an artist or someone who struggles to draw a straight line, this episode will leave you inspired and empowered to approach creativity from a new perspective.

If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about your own experiences with creative myths. What beliefs have held you back, and how have you challenged them? Share your thoughts and stories by leaving a comment or reaching out on social media!

If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review, share it with a friend, or tag me on Instagram with your creative takeaways. Remember to subscribe so you never miss an episode full of insights to help you cultivate everyday creativity.

Creativity through the lens of the Chief Purpose Officer of PurposeU

"Creativity is, being able to come up with stuff, make connections so that something new is created."

Over the last 20 years, I have helped more than 400 organizations define their purpose and become consistently uniquely remarkable through his proprietary Blueprint process. "Blueprinting" defines an organization's purpose – in 7 words or less – and uses it to design how it will operate and communicate.
I am also an author, speaker and coach, as well as a contributor to a nationally broadcast TV station. I co-wrote the book "Why should I choose you?: Answering the most important question in business in seven words or less", published by HarperCollins.
I am also the Chief Purpose Officer of PurposeU. I have adapted this process for individuals so they can create a personal Blueprint for a happy, productive, self-directed and purpose-driven life. We offer the personal Blueprint as an online course that leads you through a step-by-step process to define your purpose – in 7 words or less – and then use it to design and live a life of meaning and purpose.

Creativity through the lens of a communication coach for parents of teens and a spoken word artist

"Creativity is: 1. Asking what do you want. 2. Being intentional on putting things together or taking them apart"

I'm Marcus, a 'communication coach' for parents of preteens. I help business professionals who are parents of 10 to 14 year olds effectively show up and connect with their preteen during these key formative years, in order to secure a relationship that lasts beyond a lifetime.
As a former missionary and high school English teacher, over my 15+ year career, l've:

• Worked with learners from 20+ countries as a teacher and mentor. This work experience has given me a deep insight into how young people relate to their parents, family, and our world.

• Founded a growing 'book community', 'Putting Parenting Books into Action', that helps parents show up for their preteens and connect with similar parents who share their experiences.

• Authored 'Inspire Life Through Words Series', a published set of personal inspirational poetry intended to create well-being. i Just for Fun On a lighter note, when I'm not deep in conversations with 'present' parents or teens, I'm Latin dancing (Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba) and moving my body through Crossfit and other sports. I love positive psychology, philosophy and what it means to live a good life.
