Episode description

Creativity isn't a talent some people have and others don't, it's a skill. In day three of this special five-part series, Helen and Aneesh Rahman explore the third C, creativity, and why it's becoming one of the highest-value human skills in an age when AI can generate generic content at scale. From Pixar's science of storytelling to the neuroscience of flow, this is a conversation that will change how you think about your own creativity, and how to bring more of it to your team. 🎯 What You'll Learn – Why AI making generic creative content widely available actually raises the premium on human creativity – What the neuroscience of flow tells us about when we're at our creative best (and what gets in the way) – Why creativity is a team sport, and what that means for how you design your working week – A simple question to ask in your team: when are you at your creative best and what contributes to it? – One practical thing anyone can do right now to build their creative muscle, even if they don't feel creative at all πŸ“š Resources Mentioned Open to Work: Aneesh Rahman and Ryan Roslansky Creativity Inc.: Ed Catmull Peak: Anders Ericsson For questions about Squiggly Careers or to share feedback, please email: helenandsarah@squigglycareers.com Need some more squiggly career support? 1.
