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

Welcome to episode 55 of the Creative WorkHour podcast! Today’s deep dive is into a topic that many creatives face but don’t always recognize: Energy Vampires Draining Your Creativity.
