Why Creative Growth Starts with Looking Back with Sean Steed

In this episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with Sean, a creative working at Rapha, to explore how architecture, design, and sport all intersect through storytelling and process.We talk about growing up in Switzerland, the value of reflection, and what it means to create work that feels intentional — work that comes from curiosity, not ego. Sean shares lessons from his time in architecture school at Cornell, transitioning into visual communication, and finding his place at the intersection of creativity and the outdoors.We dive deep into what makes Rapha’s creative culture unique, the balance between craft and freedom, and how running and trail races have become his way of staying connected to the mountains and himself.🎧 Listen if you’ve ever wondered how to keep growing, stay inspired, and build a creative life that actually feels like you.outside is Magic is hosted by Christopher San Agustin.Produced by Broken and Coastal.Follow us on Instagram @brokenandcoastalHelp spread the magic.
