What if creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration, but about learning to see the world in new ways? In this episode, I sit down with Keith Sawyer—psychologist, jazz pianist, and author of Learning to See: Inside the World’s Leading Art and Design Schools—to explore how improvisation, iteration, and play can transform not only our creative work but also our lives.

Together, we talk about why constraints can actually spark innovation, how people are taught in art and design school to shift their perspectives, and why improvisation is at the heart of being human. Keith shares insights from decades of research into the creative process, and we uncover ways we can all bring this creative process into our everyday lives.

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or simply curious about living more creatively, this conversation will inspire you to embrace discovery, experiment with new perspectives, and see your own life as a work of art in progress.
