167. Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free!

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." - Albert Einstein   Let's get wild and creative! I am excited to welcome Susie deVille, author, entrepreneur, and coach, to the T&T mic! Susie is the Founder and CEO of The Innovation & Creativity Institute and maintains a wealth of knowledge, experience, and education in the entrepreneurial, innovative, and creative spaces. Susie shares her journey going from what she calls her "nuclear winter" (in debt, unhealthy, and unhappy) to wildly successful, creative, and thriving. We talk about the importance of making space for positive daily practices including being creative… yes, it's time to draw, paint, sculpt, or whatever your heart feels called to do. You might be skeptical about doodling saving your life, but we both encourage you to just try and see what happens. Susie lays out awesome tips and tricks to get you started on the right path to successful freedom- personally and professionally. It's a new year and a great time to try something new with intention, it could be the best move (or creation) you've ever made!   Highlights: Innovation, Creativity, and Wild Ideas- Saving Lives. Breakdowns and breakthroughs. Dreaming, believing, and achieving. The 5 M's or 6:). Tacking a chance and a new approach. Getting back to our roots, young selves, and internal drivers. Having FUN- it matters. Support in your wild season of becoming.   Susie deVille is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build wildly successful businesses by rediscovering their creativity and leveraging the power of their true nature. An author, coach, and entrepreneur who built and sold a highly profitable real estate firm, she has been researching innovation and creativity since 2005. She is the founder and CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute and trained as a coach with Dr. Martha Beck.  Susie holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology and a master's degree in entrepreneurship, and continues to invest in her education and personal development, learning from some of the most preeminent experts in their respective fields around the globe. She founded the Innovation & Creativity Institute in 2006 and began leaning into art making as the perfect partner to entrepreneurship, capturing this idea in her signature methodology, the Creative Rebel's Voyage™. Today, Susie uses her insights from 15 years of research on entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity to empower entrepreneurs in accessing their creative back channels and build the businesses of their dreams.
