Hello! Just a quick note to tell you that today we launched BEGIN the podcast! Our first two episodes have dropped, including an intro and our first conversation with founder of Commonplace Books, Ben Nockels. These are the first of 10 conversations with founders, creatives, artists, and doers. Enjoy!

Intro Episode: Introductory podcast… How do we begin the work? Sam DuRegger sets up Begin the Podcast series, gives shouts out to some partners, and unpacks the lessons found in the BEGIN the work book series. Podcast Notes In our inaugural interview Sam sits down with Ben Nockles of Commonplace Books to discuss Commonplace’s origin story and what’s next for the brand.

Creativity is a verb sandwiched between nouns.

Creativity is sometimes seen as a genetic trait passed down from artistic parents to their offspring. You either got it or you don’t. I believe that for us to unlock the productivity buried inside of us, we need to demystify the creative process. Maybe you’ve heard these sentences come out of your own mouth:

“I’m not creative.” 

“I wasn’t born with that ability.”
