Chasing Genius

Crystal Anokam

Chasing Genius is a podcast about the pursuit of creative mastery. It’s for creatives who treat their work like a practice, showing up, experimenting, failing forward, and evolving in public. Each episode unpacks lessons from artists, athletes, and cultural icons, not to idolize them, but to study their habits, mindset, and process. The focus isn’t on overnight success, but on what happens in the quiet, consistent hours that shape real genius. The genius in me sees the genius in you. chasinggenius.substack.com

    21. Honor the Season that You Are In

    This episode of Chasing Genius is a little different. No script.No structured outline.Just a notebook, a few intrusive thoughts, and an honest reflection about the season of life I find myself in. Recently, I realized something uncomfortable: the way I’ve always operated, which is discipline, pushing harder, forcing outcomes, and that is not what this moment in my life requires. Instead, this season is asking something different of me. To surrender.To be patient.To trust the timing of my life. Maybe you’re in a season of building.Maybe you’re in a season of solitude.Maybe you’re in a season of uncertainty. Whatever season you’re in, the question remains the same: Are you honoring it?

We lose our creative voice, we rely too much on external influences and we miss out on the chance to just be ourselves. Stop waiting for permission to create. This is a public episode.
