Are you really creative?
Many people don’t think of themselves as creative or entrepreneurial. In this episode, my guest and I discuss how incredibly wrong this is and how we are literally born as creative entrepreneurs.
My guest, Carl Nordgren is a veteran entrepreneur and creative professional. We talk about some of the ideas in his latest book called Becoming a Creative Genius (again).
Some of the ideas we touch on
- What it is to be creative
- Generative
- Mindset
- the Importance of action
- Practice and more
The lessons in the episode are important for every entrepreneur whether you are just starting out or a start-up veteran.
