Hey everybody, it's Chase. Today, we’re diving deep into something that fires me up every time I think about it—lifelong creativity. There’s this myth floating around that creativity is just for the young or that it’s something you either have or you don’t. But let me tell you, that’s absolute BS. Creativity isn’t some finite resource that dries up as you get older. It’s not just for “artistic types.” No, creativity is a muscle. Like... read more ›

If calculated risks keep us growing, why do we stop? There are two contrasting ideas that many of us have about creativity. It’s that we want to stand out and share our work while at the same time we want to fit in. When we stand out, it means we’re not fitting in. We can’t have both.
