Everyone’s creative process is different, but remote and hybrid work have fundamentally changed the way we collaborate. How do we get unstuck when we can’t walk over to someone’s desk to brainstorm? And what’s the best way to turn the seed of an idea into something real, remotely?

We talk to musician, composer, podcaster, and creative powerhouse Hrishikesh Hirway about all things creativity: how to trust our instincts, the fine line between garbage and good ideas, the magic of creative partnership, and the ways remote work can actually help us stay inspired.
