Finding your creative hustle: "This is about your whole core purpose."

Do you consider yourself to be a creative person? On this week's episode of the Hello Monday Podcast, we're going deep on creativity. I once thought of creativity as a static trait: you either have it or you don't. Over the years, my thinking has changed. I believe anyone can hone their creativity. So whatever you think of your own abilities, I hope you'll come to this conversation with an open mind. My guests team-teach a popular class at Stanford University’s d.school, and they’ve just published a book. It’s called Creative Hustle: Blaze Your Own Path and Make Work that Matters .

Olatunde Sobomehin and sam seidel believe everyone is born creative.? They’ve devised a framework to help us make the most of that creativity and we’re going to review it today.

Creative Hustle is the alchemy of imagination and ambition that will enable you to apply your gifts to your goals.

They define it succinctly in the book and I used it as a jumping off point for our conversation: Creative Hustle is the alchemy of imagination and ambition that will enable you to apply your gifts to your goals. You can listen to the episode above, or find it here. Then please jump into the conversation in the comments!
