Some core traits, hard-wired and reinforced by our life story, can feel incredibly uncomfortable. Self-loathing and comparison can emerge when we have to look in the mirror. Literally cleaning out a closet brought on harsh truth this week and I reflect on how it can affect our flow and energy.

Mumbai-based artist Archana Srivastava's work is rooted in history and spirituality. We discuss why art moves us and stirs something vital on a level politics and logic cannot.

We touch upon Buddhist traditions, her childhood in India and trusting the things that speak to the heart in a world where logic and data rule the day.

It's too easy to slip into fear and scarcity. We all do it, but what changes when we make creative career decisions based on the life we want to live instead of in short-term mindsets?

I hadn't expected the act of peeling a boiled egg in the street to trigger raucous laughter and a wave of self-awareness, but here we are. 

When it comes to story, who you are and creativity, there's a lot more to it than the big buzzwords.

Deyson Ortiz meets countless people with phenomenal lived experiences, big achievers and thought leaders who have no idea how to tell their story. When the camera goes on or the mic is in front of their face, they run for the hills.

He helps them to change that.

We're talking about confidence, why story matters and how to find confidence in our own story to illuminate the path ahead.

The return of Jackass to my life, a TV show that would not see the light of day in today's world, has exhumed a part of me that I've neglected too often. The mischief and dirty energy that informs so much of my creativity is harder to come by in middle age, but bad influences are good.

It requires balance and moderation, and creativity to work it into our responsible adult lives, but without the crackle of naughtiness and subversion, can creativity truly thrive?

I consider this idea on today's episode.
