    Creative Dualities: When Opposites Attract

    Creative Dualities: When Opposites Attract

    Several issues affect highly creative people that Sam Bennett files under the heading of creative duality.  In this episode, she explores three specific dualities that often trouble the highly creative person and offers up some ideas about how you can bring these opposing ideas closer together. You’ll hear about: the desire for things to stay the same versus wanting to explore something new, caring what others think versus not giving two figs about what anyone thinks, and not caring about money versus being obsessed with money.  As you listen to this episode, think about the dualities you have trapped and how you can change that energy from trapped to transformative.

    [SPECIAL EVENT] An Unusual Path to True Freedom with celebrity guest Ed O'Neill

    For this week's episode, we're trying something a little different, and sharing with you an interview from Sam's OTHER podcast, "The True Freedom Symposium: The When, What, Why and How to Quit Your Day Job and What's REALLY on the Other Side." You can find it wherever you get your podcasts - just search for "True Freedom" and it should pop right up.
    This interview is especially great for Highly Creative People, as in it Sam interviews her good friend Ed O'Neill. You may recognize Ed from his award-winning work on classic comedy shows like Modern Family and Married With Children - but you'll be amazed to hear the real story of how he got his start. Ed and Sam talk about intuition, persistence, and crippling panic attacks. And wait until you hear Ed's story about the Golden Dawn diner! This is a terrific and surprisingly inspirational conversation between friends - it's a real treat. If you enjoy it, please be sure to leave us a review, and tell a friend about us.
