from Take it from the Ironwoman · host Noah Scalin, Susanne Mueller
Noah Scalin is an artist, author, and activist. He founded the art and innovation consultancy Another Limited Rebellion in 2001 with the idea that he could make a living doing what he enjoyed and effect positive change in the world. Since then, Noah has traveled the world bringing his message of creative practice to everyone from incarcerated teenagers to Fortune 500 executives. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of The Arts, Noah started his career as the Art Director for Troma Entertainment and Avirex Clothing. Noah's artwork is collected internationally and has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Mütter Museum and NYC’s Times Square. He is the author of six books — most recently Creative Sprint which he co-wrote with his sister/business partner Mica. Noah was the inaugural artist-in-residence at both Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Business and the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University. His 2020 collaboration with Old Navy was one of the most viewed commercials of the year and in 2022 he won the Artfields Grand Prize.Social media:https://www.linkedin.com/in/noahscalin/https://www.instagram.com/noahscalin/Websites:https://www.anotherlimitedrebellion.com/https://noahscalinkeynote.com/https://www.noahscalin.com/ ***********Finalist "Women in Cloud - Podcast of the YEAR" - #empowHERaccess Global Prestige Awards 2026Susanne Mueller / www.susannemueller.biz TEDX Talk, May 2022: Running and Life: 5KM Formula for YOUR Successhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_5Er1cLvY Join Substack: https://substack.com/@susannemuellernyc?Enjoy one coaching session for free if you are a yearly subscriber. 800+ weekly blogs / 500+ podcasts / 1 Ironman Triathlon / 5 half ironman races / 26 marathon races / 4 books / 1 Mt.

What this episode covers
👤 Who is Noah: Artist, author, and speaker; co-runs Another Limited Rebellion with his sister Micah. 💀 “Skull-A-Day” Project: In 2007–08 made one skull artwork every day for a year. This project went viral → book deals, museum shows, talks, commissions. This shifted the perception: from “designer who makes art” to artist with many skills. 🧩 Creativity = Daily Practice: Treat creativity as a repeatable habit, not a lightning bolt. 🚪 Share: Don’t wait for “perfect”—share progress (even internally if work is confidential). Early visibility prevents rework and invites collaboration & connections. ❤️ Make What You Love: Choose subjects you’re genuinely passionate about (not market-first). Passion is visible and attracts your audience. 🧠 Business Impact: Teaches teams to apply artist tools to business problems. Creativity is a core work skill (problem-solving, adaptability), not a luxury. 🔋 Recharging & Rituals: Keeps many projects in parallel to avoid stagnation. Likes to travel, reading, meditation, and—surprise—roller skating ⛸️ for presence & joy. 💬 “Start now, iterate in public.”
