CL083: Erik Wahl on creativity hacking and being a creativity speaker

In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast I talk with Erik Wahl, a graffiti artist, creativity speaker, entrepreneur, and author of the bestselling book UNthink. Erik is a believer that creativity is not just the reserve of a chosen few; the poets, the painters, the writers. He believes that creativity is in all of us and we simply need to rediscover the keys that will unlock this creative potential.
