Why Most People Lose Their Creativity (And How to Get It Back) With Darnell Brown

You know when something isn’t working and you kind of just start trying things until it makes sense? Like you don’t really have a plan, you’re just adjusting as you go and hoping it comes together?Most people do that and don’t think much of it. They definitely don’t call it creativity. That word feels like it belongs to artists or people making things for a living, not just… figuring life out.That’s something Darnell Brown has noticed over years of working in design, branding, and entrepreneurship, people constantly using creativity in practical ways without ever naming it as that. And once you start paying attention to it, it changes how you think about what creativity actually is.In this episode, the conversation digs into why we don’t recognise our own creativity, and what changes when you start seeing everyday problem-solving as a real skill instead of something “basic.” Let's dive in!IN THIS EPISODEWelcome Darnell!
