Creative Problem-Solving – Leo Lutz (Full-Stack Developer) Ep. 21, part 1

How can a programmer help put out a blazing wildfire? Steve talks to longtime friend and programmer Leo Lutz about unconventional creativity and what happens when you pair non-conventional thinking with an open approach to problem-solving. (Hint: you get culture-shifting ideas.) Leo Lutz is cofounder of Deytah, a digital consultancy focused on helping small businesses and nonprofits solve problems related to user experience, development, and data solutions. Leo has a knack for teaching and creative problem-solving but also a love for audio. In fact, Leo and Steve used to do live sound together for Don’t Call Us Tori, a live music showcase that Steve co-founded with musician Shannon Hurley. (And did you know, Leo’s company Deytah built the I Create Sound website?) In this episode, Steve and Leo discuss the uniqueness of possessing a N+P pairing on the MBTI and reflect on how their Myers–Briggs personality types intersect with their work. Steve asks Leo to explain what programming IS, and Leo addresses the notion that coders sometimes lack creativity. They also discuss The Magic Castle, mixing audio in church, and pedagogy (teaching).  Subscribe to the podcast and look for part 2 with Leo Lutz!   Guest: Leo Lutz Deytah - Creative Digital Consultancy Instagram: @only1skeemer   Matrik SEE (Requires Google Login) Automators.academy   Episode References: Colorado Search and Rescue Tick Fire - Wikipedia   Jungian Cognitive Functions MBTI Personality Types Myers–Briggs Type Indicator - Wikipedia Don't Call Us Tori iReady The Magic Castle - Wikipedia A2 (theater) - Wikipedia Jellyfish Lake - Wikipedia   HTML (programming language) - Mozilla PHP (programming language) - Wikipedia   Language of Creativity’s host Steven Leavitt enjoys discussing the ins and outs of all aspects of creating, creativity, and life with his fellow creators, artists, inventors, designers, and producers.
