The Why Intercept

15-08-2023 • 15 mins

*Why is creativity both the most and least important thing we can do with our lives? Why do we stand to benefit from consistently wanting to be bad at the talents we work so hard to perfect? Such as, in this case, sewing, designing and creating? Through the experience of happening across a life changing text, we found the answers in this episode before realizing which questions needed asking. In this episode we explore: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, creativity as frosting, Atomic Habits, what it means to be a tortured artist and so much more. (In Part 2 we will explore: The Dual Nature of Passion, self-worth, neuro-divergence and more. Make sure to hit follow in order to not miss when Part 2 comes out!) *[caption video for this episode] Theme music by Brooks Hamilton / ⁠@brohama⁠ Full list of references for each episode can be found here: bit.ly/3qhZVNX Transcripts can be found on Substack: bit.ly/3N8axYH If you learned something you loved or have thoughts for improvement please do not hesitate to reach out in the following places: Instagram: @thewhyintercept & @by.sume⁠ Website: www.bysume.com Youtube: ⁠@bysume⁠ TikTok: @by.sume
