Courageous Creativity

Courageous Creativity

I’ve been so proud to talk to creatives of all types. They have honored me and our audience with all they have learned and overcome. I’ve learned something that seems obvious: we all have something we’ve gone through. Most who have been part of our conversations are strong and use the power of creativity to help themselves and the world. I’m looking forward to helping and the wonderful conversations in the future. https://winstonawilson.com

What do I use to be creative?

I use several things, but the main thing I use is a place to store my ideas.

You've heard me talk about Notion recently, and that is a place where I have an idea, and then I put it in there.

But I also create a roadmap, so if I have an idea for a blog or a podcast, I use a template that says, this is an idea stage, and then I go from there.

The cool thing, for everyone listening, there are multiple way...

I love productivity, not because of apps but because it helps me creatively.  I'm hopeful this may give you some insight into my process.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Also if you have any ideas for topics please let me know.

When I was growing up, the character Wolverine from the X-Men resonated with me. I like many growing up was filled with rage. I was bullied incessantly and at any moment felt like I could burst and go berserk (Wolverine's greatest fear). I know this episode is a departure from my typical topics, but I wish to give you some insight into why productivity and having a modicum of self-discipline are important for my life.

     I had a chance to take part in my first ever Southeastern Theatre Conference.  It was in Lexington Kentucky a city I've never visited.  I always get a thrill from going to new places, especially ones in which I've been near but never spent any time.  As many places I visited I truly dug the city.  It was a cool place that you could walk around pretty quickly. The conference itself felt...like I was amongst my people.  I don't ...

When I loss many friends and family to external violence, diseases, and suicide before they had a chance to fully share their creative voice it hurt.  I felt that if I and all of us, who aspire to be spiritual and creative souls could begin to pour into people. We would do this one person at a time and we could make a difference.  My personal belief is that once we do this, it will create a rising tide of love that contrasts the be...
