James shares his creative process, which he likens to a faucet that you must never turn off. He encourages us to stay open and keep generating ideas even if you don't use them at the moment. We also talk about the COVID pandemic, how he coped with the loss of income, and how he was able to find hope and joy in the midst of hopelessness.
