Episode 62: Back to School, Back to Creativity

August 16, 2025

Todays Crew

Greg, Alessandra, Devin, Shadows Pub, Hillary, Bobby B


Today we asked the question:

If you could design your own “School of Creativity,” what classes or experiences might you include?


Summary

Today's crew answered a simple question:
If you could design your own School of Creativity, what would you teach and how would people learn?

The crew explored learning styles, program design, safety in learning, mentorship, mixed media delivery, and even angel investing as a creative path.

The theme:
creativity flourishes when people can choose how they learn, feel safe to explore, and have access to both wisdom and practical tools.

Back-to-school season isn’t just for kids. Today the team reframed “school” as a flexible, human-centric space where curiosity leads and structure supports.

  • Devin introduced angel investing as a creative practice and mapped the “spokes on a wheel” approach to interests.
  • Alessandra spotlighted the power of synchronous, live learning for motivation and follow-through.
  • Hillary laid out a tiered, mixed-media curriculum that adapts to different learners, with a vision for “CAD Coven” to mentor AutoCAD pros in the soft skills missing from industry onboarding.
  • Shadows championed self-guided study through books and articles over formal courses.
