Creativity can be hard to reach at times. As we know, it takes a lot of time and effort to become the ultimate creative warrior. Often times, it can be a struggle to find the creative voice inside yourself. In order to do so, it takes inspiration and hard work. Most of us find ourselves good at one or the other, but who says you can’t be good at both? On this week’s episode, we will be discussing making your “spark and grind” work for you, with Erik Wahl. Erik Wahl joins us to discuss how to find, and master, our inner creativity. Erik Wahl is an artist, author, and entrepreneur. He is the author of “Unthink,” and his latest book is “Spark and Grind.” WARRIOR OF TRUE IDENTITY “Creativity isn’t something we achieve, it is something we receive.” -Erik Wahl Highlights - Creativity isn’t something we achieve, it is something we receive. Become comfortable with uncertainty. Discipline creates the opportunity for creative freedom. We are a species seeking balance. Creativity is the highest form of “mental toughness.” Discipline and talent are not enough to keep a business alive. “All education happens through suffering.” Trust the process! Trust your “why.” Don’t be so quick to bail on your day job.
