They discuss the liberating aspect of realizing that all creative work is built upon the foundation of existing ideas and how embracing this truth can ignite innovation.

    Next, Clark Kegley introduces the concept of simplifying ideas, emphasizing that “Creativity is subtraction.” Through discussion, Mike and Mark explore how embracing simplicity can lead to more impactful and resonant creative work.

They explore practical strategies for honing focus and immersing oneself fully in the creative process to unlock deeper insights and breakthroughs.
