What if everything you thought you knew about creativity was wrong?

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Do to tackle some hard truths about design, inspiration, and why so many creatives stay stuck. From AI’s role in our industry to the dangers of relying on Pinterest for ideas, we’re digging into what it really takes to stand out and stay relevant in today’s creative world.

We talk about:
• Why being talented isn’t enough anymore
• The biggest mistake keeping designers from growing
• AI vs. designers—who’s actually winning?
• Where real inspiration comes from (hint: it’s not your screen)
• Why most designers resist structure—and why that’s a problem
• Chris and I don’t hold back in this one. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure how to evolve as a creative, this episode is your wake-up call.
