445. Rich Reflections 80: Fueling Curiosity and Creative Energy

In this Rich Reflections session, Rich invites listeners into an early-morning meditation on curiosity, creativity, and energy. From candlelit writing at 3:42 a.m. to reflections on caffeine habits among history’s greatest minds, the episode explores how we fuel our bodies and minds for the work that matters most. Rich shares insights from The Hero with a Thousand Faces, The Tao Te Ching, and the unexpected recommendations of ChatGPT—using them as jumping-off points to ask what books, habits, and thoughts expand our own perspective. With humor, grounded philosophy, and a farmer’s eye for clarity, this session encourages you to ask: what’s worth my energy, and how am I choosing to feed my mind?
