  • Everything that you want from your business and life already exist. Its here and it is your job to discover it and it takes a whole lot of different things to do it, there’s no one right way.

[2:21] –  Marylou shares why she believes creativity is a vital asset for entrepreneurs in today’s world.

  • One reason is the world is changing so fast that without creative skills to manage and take advantage of the changes, people are getting left behind.
  • We are now in the most accelerated climate with technology and AI and without creativity, she thinks people will not survive or even thrive whether you are an entrepreneur or not.

[3:25] – Marylou talks about her fascinating journey, from guiding white water rafting expeditions to leading workshops and publishing books and how these experiences shaped her perspective on leadership and creativity.

  • She first appeared in this podcast 10 years ago and her experience as aw white water rafting guide was truly a magical time in her life. One of the things that has been instrumental was the awareness of grapple bars of life that you find yourself stuck wondering what you are doing with no sense of direction or purpose. But as a creative entrepreneur, she find that these are the times that are most rich and that sense of awareness helped her in life.
  • Creativity is the umbrella where she operates everything in her life. When she feels overwhelmed, she takes a step back and ask what is the problem and look at it from different angles for her to find a solution.

[7:06] – Marylou talks about the importance of self-discovery in the entrepreneurial process and what are some practical ways for entrepreneurs to explore and unlock their creative potential.

  • She has been a journaler and a writer her whole life and develop discipline at a young age, its her passion and easy for her to do, but anybody can learn it.
  • The best way to get to know yourself is by putting a paper and pen once a day and write your thoughts.
  • The other way that she is doing for about 7-8 years is study. She practice it every morning and she calls it her holy hour where she write in a journal for 20 minutes, do yoga for another 20 minutes and read a book for the remaining 20 minutes.

[9:00] – A timeout to thank our sponsor!

[11:52] – Marylou talks about the common challenges that a lot of leaders have in amplifying their voices and standing out in the marketplace.

  • She has interviewed in her podcast 400 leaders from different industries and she found that what keeps people from stepping up is a lack of belief that they can.
  • School systems programmed us not to trust ourselves but to answer to an authority figure and be graded accordingly. But overtime, when we are programmed with the same message, we lose our ability to be in tuned to what we want and what matters to us.
  • People with many great ideas are not heard because they don’t believe they can share it and put it out in the world.

[14:11] – Marylou shares how she stays inspired and manage her creative energy while juggling so many roles.

  • She takes breaks and spend time in nature. She took a 6 months off from her podcast because she needed a break to recharge her brain and body.
  • A good place to escape the digital world is nature.

[16:08] – Marylou gives her key take away.

  • Get yourself a little notebook or a pad and commit to the next 30 days, starting today by writing a short affirmation with non-dominant hand 10 times and do it for 30 days. There is a correlation in your creative output and using your non-dominant hand. It only takes 15 minutes.
