I had such a blast talking to “The Creative Life” podcast founder James Taylor! We talked about a lot of things (and that accent! #Britsrule), but pointedly about why we really do get our best ideas in the shower – I call it “Double D’s“ (dopamine and divergent thinking) in the shower – and more, including:
- The 3% Conference
- Mistaking creativity with artistry
- The Double D’s – Distraction and Dopamine <– wait for it!
- Empathy Maps
- Mindmaps
- Wine culture
- Tim Ferriss
- The saboteur
- Deep listening
- 3 Ideas
- “When expectations are in alignment, there is no conflict.”
