<h1>Episode Notes:</h1>
<p>This week we talk about the role of patience (non-GNR edition) in an enduring creative practice. We dig into the beauty of enjoying the ride, challenging those pesky narratives, and a willingness to slow down and be okay with what you perceive as your creative shortcomings. We all think we want to be great at our chosen creative outlet (or outlets) right away, but as the old cruise line ads  used to say, "Getting there is half the fun." So put your seat back, grab the beverage of your choice and settle in for 27 minutes of luxury.</p>

Episode 22 – Infusing Your Creative Work With Deeper Meaning

Creativity. We talk about it. We want it. We think about it all the time from museum works of art to the garden down the street to jaw-dropping acts of audacity on the basketball court. 

But sometimes we don't know how to get it. The Creative DoubleShot is here to help.
