Dating Your Creativity, the olympics and AI episode

This week on Where Are We Heading?, we explore what it really means to train your creativity. Inspired by an Olympic comeback story, we talk about rest as discipline, learning your craft instead of outsourcing it, and whether AI is helping or slowly replacing human creativity. A walk-and-talk about resilience, burnout, artistry and the future of work. Can creativity be trained like an Olympic sport? On this week’s walk-and-talk, Kim shares the story of Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu and how stepping away — and returning on her own terms — changed everything. That sparks a bigger conversation about discipline, rest, and whether creativity should be treated as play, practice, or performance. From “dating your creativity” to resisting the temptation to outsource skill-building to AI, this episode explores what it means to truly develop your craft in a world that rewards speed over depth. We also dive into: AI replacing creative work Human connection vs holograms Job interviews run by algorithms Ownership of voice and identity Whether technology is serving humanity — or replacing it This episode is raw, reflective, and very much unfolding in real time — just like the path we’re walking. 📍 Recorded outdoors, in motion, as always 🔑 KEY THEMES / TAKEAWAYS Rest is not weakness — it’s strategic. Creativity needs structure, but not punishment. “Dating your creativity” vs forcing productivity. Learning your craft matters more than speed. AI is a tool — but craft builds depth.
