Daily Creative
Formerly known as The Accidental Creative, Daily Creative is your source for becoming brave, focused, and brilliant.
Being a creative professional should be the greatest job in the world. You get to solve problems, express yourself, bring something new into the world and you get paid to do it. What's not to love, right?
Yet every day, creative pros face, tremendous pressure and uncertainty. The temptation is to just play it safe, surrender to distraction and settle for less than your best. Daily Creative is about making sure that's not your story. Each episode focuses on a topic relevant to creative pros, like how to come up with ideas under pressure, how the collaborate when you're overwhelmed, or how to lead your team and help them discover motivation.
Host Todd Henry (author of The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Herding Tigers, and other best-selling books) and featured guests such as Seth Godin, Cal Newport, Kim Scott, and other brilliant authors, practitioners, and experts guide our journey through practical topics to help you be brave, focused, and brilliant in your work and leadership.
It's time to fall back in love with your work. Listen to Daily Creative wherever you get your podcasts, or subscribe for free to Daily Creative+ to get bonus episodes, full interviews, and more delivered each week.
