Creativity Isn't Just Art — It's a Life Skill. Jeff Fajans on How to Build It in Your Kids and Yourself.

Jeff Fajans reached out after seeing something Robbie posted about listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival with his kids and the way music connects generations. Jeff is a creative momentum coach, a music creator who makes kids music described by people in the industry as "Beastie Boys for babies," and a newly inducted member of the Recording Academy. He and Robbie sat down for the kind of conversation that actually goes somewhere.This is one of the best guest episodes in the TUF catalog — not because it's polished, but because both of them are genuinely figuring something out in real time. Robbie doesn't think of himself as a creative person. Jeff disagrees. The podcast itself is the counterargument.Topics covered: what creativity actually means when you strip away the art school definition, the five pillars for nurturing creativity in your kids starting from infancy, why exposing children to a wide variety of experiences is the foundation of everything, how to identify your child's creative strengths without projecting your own hopes onto them, why the podcast is a creative act even when Robbie doesn't feel like a creative person, and what Jeff's work as Mr. Boo Daddy is really about.Here are the links for Jeff and all the good work he is doing! Listen to MrBoodaddy on Spotify or Apple Music and follow on InstagramCreative Parenting: 5 Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Creativity (Medium Article)Discover Your Creative Vision.
