Ceri interviews acclaimed author and creativity expert Todd Henry about maintaining creativity and bravery in uncertain times. Todd shares insights from his latest book "The Brave Habit" on how to cultivate daily courage through an optimistic vision, personal agency, and intentional action. Todd offers inspiration to creatives facing disruption from AI, economic instability, and evolving workplace dynamics. His framework of BRAVE - blocking time for self-reflection, focusing on agency, visioning, and expressing intent - provides takeaways for professional and personal growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creativity requires nurturing practices and habits to sustain brilliance when solving problems. Todd reinvented his podcast to weave stories and voices into entertaining, binge-worthy episodes. Collaboration multiplied the quality and uniqueness of the new Daily Creative podcast. Reaching out to past collaborators you've worked well with can ease uncertainty. Bravery arises from an optimistic vision of the future and a sense of personal agency. The "BRAVE" framework involves self-reflection, focusing on influence, positive envisioning, and stating intent. Boldness differs from bravery which acts on behalf of others or principles. Creatives can apply bravery learned through art to other areas by connecting to their purpose. BEST MOMENTS  "My job is to equip creative professionals to be very focused and brilliant in their life and their work." "People were listening to media very differently now. I think that they, yeah, they want to be educated, but I think also they want to be entertained." "When people retreat into cowardice...it's usually because either I can't see a positive vision of the future or...I don't believe I have agency to act." "Bravery is always on behalf of the other whether...a principle or an idea or a relationship." "Most of us are talking about... 'Oh, I want to have this uncomfortable conversation with a potential client.'" PODCAST HOST BIO Meet Ceri Hand, the driving force behind countless creative success stories.
