Mike Schmitz returns to the Road to Macstock Conference and Expo to discuss his session, “Think Different: Using AI as Your Creative Copilot.” He explains how he uses AI not to automate the end product, but to enhance the early stages of the creative process—particularly brainstorming and idea generation. By reframing “hallucinations” as sparks of inspiration, Mike shares how large language models help overcome creative bottlenecks, reduce friction, and support consistency without sacrificing originality. He also highlights specific tools that allow independent creators to scale their reach more effectively and thoughtfully.  http://traffic.libsyn.com/maclevelten/MV25171.mp3 This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

Dr. Mark Runco is a professor and is the Director of Creativity Research and Programming at Southern Oregon University. Over 35 years ago, he founded an influential scientific journal called The Creativity Research Journal and he was the editor of that journal until 2020. He's published books that are widely read by creativity researchers such as his college textbook, Creativity: Research, Development, and Practice (three editions), The Creativity Research Handbook (1997, 2011, 2012), and the very first Encyclopedia of Creativity in 1999. He's known for his studies of core topics in creativity research including problem finding, assessment, and divergent thinking. His recent writings are critical of the widespread claim that Gen AI is creative. He argues that creativity is unique to humans, and we're going to talk about that today. Mark developed and still teaches seminars on creativity, including "Creativity: What It Is and What It Is Not," "The Assessment of Creativity," "Creative Cognition," and "Social Contexts for Creativity." He is past president of Division 10 (Psychology, Art, Creativity, and Aesthetics) of the American Psychological Association. Episodes 23 and 24 of this podcast are about the annual conference of Division 10.

All words are formative, but not all words are creative. This is law and a key point that must be understood so that you may efficiently move into the realization of all your goals and dreams. Understanding this part of the creative process is critical, especially when it comes to living the life you would love to live, personally and professionally, as opposed to living immersed in undesirable conditions experiencing unacceptable results.I really don't think it's talked about or taught about enough. The law of logos seems to have gotten lost in our fast paced world. With shorter and shorter attention spans, I don't believe we stop long enough to consider how the invisible thought process that designs, molds and shapes our dreams using the power of our imaginations, moves those goals and dreams into our visible world of form.We must consciously recognize the creative power of our words to make an impression into the universal substance of ethereal energy. This is beyond affirmations and words to live by. This is about the source and power of your spoken word which is the vehicle through which your ideas make themselves manifest. This is about moving your thoughts and ideas from the invisible world of non-form into the visible world of form; the realization of your ideals, your dreams and your goals.This is about the true art of manifestation and quantum leap goal achievement often missing in personal, professional and leadership development. It's time to put in back.Listen now to take a deeper dive into the creative power of your spoken word and the law of logos part two.Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

“We are all creators. Whether or not we create is not up to us. We are human, and creating is what we do.” - Michael Gungor You are a creator! Yes, you. Whether you not you believe it is irrelevant, because like Michael Gungor said, “We are human and creating is what we do.” In every role we play in life -- parent, spouse, friend, lover, community member, coach -- we create experiences and meaning. Today's episode is an exercise in creation. I followed the advice of a friend and fellow podcaster, and recorded this episode with no notes and no script. Every part of this episode was created organically, on the spot. I did that because I wanted to exercise my muscles of creation, and what resulted was a powerful reflection on creative, the creative process, and tapping into our creative potential.

Life can often feel like a never-ending hustle — especially when you feel like you're working harder than ever but getting poorer results.   Deadlines loom. Responsibilities pile up. And the bills keep coming.   It's so easy to get swept up in the daily grind and feel like you're constantly in the middle of a storm that just won't let up.   Before you know it, the love you once had for your work starts to dim. And frustration and burnout take hold ... leaving you with a persistent feeling that you're merely going through the motions.   Sound familiar?   If so, I think you'll really appreciate this episode. My guest today is my mentor, teacher, and good friend Peleg Top.   I've known Peleg for 14 years. He's had a huge influence on my life and my business. And he's the person who encouraged me many years ago to become a coach. I've learned a ton from him over the years, and much of that inevitably seeps into the work I do with my own clients.   I wanted to bring Peleg on because what I've been seeing in our business over the past year troubles me.   I'm seeing a level of frustration, burnout, doubt, fear, and uncertainty among creative professionals that I haven't seen in a very long time. So many solo creative professionals are feeling rudderless and uninspired.   They're tired and deeply in burnout territory. They want to change. And they're trying their best to improve their situation, reinvent themselves, and create something new. But they feel plagued with a lack of clarity, fear, and self-doubt.    Peleg believes that these symptoms are a clear sign that your inner muse is inaccessible. It's locked up in a prison cell made of routine, stress, and self-doubt. And in order to break through and create the change we want, we must unleash this inner muse so we can tap into our core creative potential.   I couldn't agree more.   In this conversation, we get right into this. We explain what this inner muse is all about. And how we can start embracing it to open up pathways to new ideas, emotional healing, and a profound sense of fulfillment—both in our professional and personal lives.   An Invitation   One more thing. A few months ago, Peleg and I felt called to do something about the challenges we're seeing among creative professionals. We wanted to do something more profound and life-changing than a podcast episode.   Don't get me wrong. You'll get a lot out of listening to this conversation. But we've also decided to co-lead a retreat this September in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And it's something I'm super-excited about.   We're calling it the Unleash Your Inner Muse retreat.   This is a 5-day event where we'll work together to help you rediscover and nurture your creative spirit, unlock your full creative potential and craft a compelling vision for your personal and professional life.   You'll reconnect with a profound joy and exhilarating freedom that will make you wonder how you ever lost touch with this divine spark within.   And by the end of our journey together, you'll walk away with:   Practical tools to reignite your creativity A renewed sense of motivation and direction A process that nourishes your authentic self and reconnects you to a creative energy you haven't felt in years   If what we share in this episode resonates with you, I invite you to listen to the end, where we talk a bit about that event. I'm also including a link with all the details on the show notes page for this episode. Or you can go straight there by visiting .
