PJ also outlines how a daily creative practice enables us to handle ambiguity and develops greater problem solving capacities.\n\nWhile he takes us through his journey and motivation for all of his work - inspiring more people to a life of creativity, that leads to a more connected and creative world.\n\nIf you don’t presently have a regular creative practice in your life, this episode will give you plenty to ponder, while for those that do, it will give you further inspiration to maintain and deepen that practice.\nSubscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for daily clips and reflections.\nContact me at mark@whatisagood.life to book a free 30 minute consultation for one-on-one coaching programs or to hear about corporate workshops I am offering around this question.\nRunning Order: \n01:27 Podcast Begins\n\n01:56 Navigating the tension between ambition and contentment\n\n05:26 Overcoming resistance\n\n11:20 Taking your vessel out to sea\n\n14:51 Finding Balance\n\n17:48 Avoiding an autopilot existence\n\n21:44 The importance of a daily creative practice \n\n28:26 Life is not a journey\n\n31:26 If we could all just be a little more creative…\n\n35:26 Colouring outside of the lines\n\n39:09 Creativity and empathy\n\n43:56 Creativity is good for the soul\n\n47:11 Thought, action, and experimenting\n\n50:37 Top tip for more creativity in your life \n\n55:11 The beauty of creating just for ourselves\n\n58:25 What is a...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
