Several issues affect highly creative people that Sam Bennett files under the heading of creative duality. In this episode, she explores three specific dualities that often trouble the highly creative person and offers up some ideas about how you can bring these opposing ideas closer together. You’ll hear about: the desire for things to stay the same versus wanting to explore something new, caring what others think versus not giving two figs about what anyone thinks, and not caring about money versus being obsessed with money. As you listen to this episode, think about the dualities you have trapped and how you can change that energy from trapped to transformative.

For this week's episode, we're trying something a little different, and sharing with you an interview from Sam's OTHER podcast, "The True Freedom Symposium: The When, What, Why and How to Quit Your Day Job and What's REALLY on the Other Side." You can find it wherever you get your podcasts - just search for "True Freedom" and it should pop right up.
This interview is especially great for Highly Creative People, as in it Sam interviews her good friend Ed O'Neill. You may recognize Ed from his award-winning work on classic comedy shows like Modern Family and Married With Children - but you'll be amazed to hear the real story of how he got his start. Ed and Sam talk about intuition, persistence, and crippling panic attacks. And wait until you hear Ed's story about the Golden Dawn diner! This is a terrific and surprisingly inspirational conversation between friends - it's a real treat. If you enjoy it, please be sure to leave us a review, and tell a friend about us.

Sam Bennett shares three strategies to help nurture and expand your idea process. Because, yes, you have ideas. Loads of them. You have ideas about your ideas. You have ideas that wake you up in the middle of the night. You even have ideas about other people's ideas. Sometimes you get an idea that appears in your brain and you immediately squelch it.
You just may benefit from a different system by which you can retrieve, care for, and feed your ideas. In this episode, Sam encourages you to take a moment to look at the way you view your ideas. How many are there? How are you capturing them? How can you retrieve them? And, how can you spend 15-minutes a day starting to bring at least one of them to life?

Sam Bennett brings light to the highly creative person’s love for nuance and subtlety. If you ask a highly creative person a question, they're likely going to start by saying, “Well, it depends.” All that gift for nuance, subtlety, and gray area leads to over-complication. Highly creative people will overcomplicate a paper bag.
In this episode, Sam offers some ways you can become more self-aware of how you might be allowing yourself to overthink projects and how it is halting you from even taking the first steps. She also explores the highly creative person’s love of nuance and how to lean into the little details of doing the things you enjoy the most.
