Welcome to episode #929 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #929. Uncertainty and rapid change have become the business norm. The need for brave leadership is more pronounced than ever. Todd Henry, self-describes as an "arms dealer for the creative revolution," brings this point home in his latest book, The Brave Habit - A Guide To Courageous Leadership. Known for his extensive work with leaders and organizations to foster environments of innovation and creative brilliance, Todd's insights are always invaluable for anyone looking to thrive in creative or challenging industries. Todd's been a friend for over a decade, and he is the person that I turn to when I think about new ways for human beings to be creative and more effective. Todd explores the evolving dynamics of bravery in the business world, especially in the realms of book publishing and the integration of artificial intelligence into creative processes. As the landscape of publishing shifts and AI begins to play a significant role in creativity, Todd discusses how these tools can be leveraged to enhance creative output without compromising the integrity of artistic expression. The Brave Habit is not just a manual - it's a manifesto for courageous action in times of daunting challenges. Todd emphasizes that bravery isn't an innate trait possessed by a select few but a skill that can be honed. His practical framework for courageous leadership is designed to empower professionals to make tough decisions and lead confidently through times of uncertainty. The conversation also touches on the risks posed by cancel culture and the pervasive fear of judgment that can stifle bold decision-making. Todd argues that creating a balance between homogeneity and creativity is crucial for fostering a culture of innovation. He highlights the role of empathy in understanding diverse perspectives and building a supportive environment where bravery can flourish. According to Todd, bravery involves doing the right thing in the face of fear or personal loss, and it is something that can and should be cultivated daily. Todd is also the author of The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Herding Tigers, Daily Creative (also the name of his excellent and recently rebooted podcast), and Louder Than Words. Todd is also active on ThinkersOne where you can book him to pop into your next meeting. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:09:06. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

This week's music: David Usher 'St. Lawrence River'. Takeaways The traditional model of book publishing is evolving, with new formats and publishing options emerging. AI has the potential to enhance creativity by providing new avenues of exploration and inspiration. Creativity is a complex concept, and the impact of AI on creativity is still being explored. Bravery is essential in creative pursuits, as it requires taking risks and challenging the status quo. Cancel culture and the fear of making missteps can hinder bravery in the workplace. Finding a balance between homogeneity and creativity is crucial for fostering innovation. Empathy plays a significant role in promoting bravery and understanding different perspectives. Bravery is defined as doing the right thing even in the face of fear or personal loss. Being brave in a cowardice situation requires listening to one's conscience and not succumbing to societal pressures. Bravery can be developed and trained, and it is not limited to extraordinary acts. Promoting bravery in everyday life involves creating a culture that values empathy, meaningful conversations, and the willingness to challenge the status quo.

I was saddened to hear today of the passing of Rodriguez, the singer-songwriter who was the subject of the documentary Searching For Sugar Man. I wrote about his story in my book Die Empty, and on today's episode I share his amazing journey and the importance of embracing invisible impact.

It's been almost ten years since my book Die Empty released, and in the decade since that phrase has often been misunderstood and mis-applied to mean "you're not hustling enough!" or "collapse exhausted at the end of each day!" That couldn't be farther from the message of the book. On today's episode, I re-visit some key principles from chapter one of Die Empty and how they can help each of us build a body of work that we can point to with satisfaction and pride.

You may or may not know that The Accidental Creative podcast has been releasing new episodes weekly since 2005 - that's almost 18 years. And, some of my favorite episodes are now so old that they are no longer on the podcast feed and aren't available any longer publicly. So, I thought that over the course of the summer I might go back a decade and resurrect some episodes from the summers of 2013 and 2014 and replay them here on the show. Over the next few weeks, some of the episodes will feature past interviews or ideas that I was sharing with listeners in the early 2010's, including some concepts that were fresh from my just-released book Die Empty, which came out in September 2013. (Yes, it's been that long ago.) So on today's episode, I'm sharing an interview with Simon Sinek from 2014 about his book Leaders Eat Last. Many of you will know Simon from his book Start With Why and his TED talk that became one of the most-watched TED talks of all time. His follow-up Leaders Eat Last was an exploration of best leadership practices at some of the most effective organizations in the world.

On this episode we spoke about creativity and how the creative life depends on living at the margins of your own identity. In a complex world, we might all acknowledge that everything is interconnected but we seldom see ourselves as the interconnectors, we are always expecting someone else to understand the connections and work with them. In that sense, our personal experience is so unique that no one else can see what we see. The future of interdisciplinary and creative work, depends on giving ourselves permission to work as weavers between disciplines and ways of life. Our greatest asset is our intuition and by pairing it with creative stories, we can discover new identities that will co-create a more lovable and sustainable future.Todd Henry is a Speaker, Author and Founder of Accidental Creative, a company that works with people and teams to foster creativity. He speaks frequently on productivity and leadership and is the author of The Accidental Creative, Die Empty and many other books.

In the words of our inspiring guest today… “We were made for greatness but we continue to settle behind half-truths and useless excuses, building walls and masks, hoping that no one will see who we truly are underneath. It is time for a change. We can be that change.” ~Brian Alsruhe Today's episode dives DEEP into the human spirit and what it looks like to overcome the many challenges that life throws at us. We believe 100% that You Are Strong By Design and in order to fix this broken world, we must stand strong, seek truth in all things, be grateful for our many blessings and never give up on ourselves or those we care about. Leave it all on the field and die empty friends. “When you start talking to people, especially when you get past the standard conversation, it's amazing how many people have these tragic things in their life, and how many people can relate to it in so many different ways… We're all just going through stuff. We should be nice to each other.” - Brian Alsruhe Time Stamps 1:18 – Welcome to the ‘Strong by Design' podcast 3:57 - Meet today's special guest, Brian Alsruhe 9:09 - How did he get started with power training 16:07 - How his brain tumor diagnosis led him to open up his gym and YouTube channel 17:17 - Brian talks about having a deadly parasite that almost cost him his life 22:55 - Discover how the disease changed his brain 27:34 - 'NEVERsate Athletics:' Brian on helping others achieve their health and fitness goals 35:46 - Brian shares his brain tumor journey 39: 20 - Why you should always choose kindness 46:56 - How Brian's recovery from the parasites is coming along 1:03:42 - Brian answers rapid fire questions 1:12:31 - 'Suffer Beautifully:' Where you can go to connect with Brian Alsruhe and watch the powerful video Resources: NEVERsate.com Connect w/ Brian: YouTube Facebook Instagram Connect w/ CriticalBench: Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com

Our guest today, Todd Henry, is truly one of my favorite authors, and I'm pretty sure he's the only guest I've had on my show four, maybe even five, times. And it's because his books, and who he is as a person, are far more real and genuine than most. He has a true in-the-trenches style that I love so much. In our conversation today, we talk about the reasoning behind the intriguing format of his latest book, Daily Creative and how the choice of format was impacted by the pandemic. We discuss the nature of creativity, the ‘long arc' of creativity, and how creativity is an iterative, evolutionary process (emphasis on process). We also talk about how the ‘noise' of the world around us can impact our creativity – and how to manage around it – plus Todd shares his own habits for daily creativity. Positioning himself as an "arms dealer for the creative revolution", Todd Henry teaches leaders and organizations how to establish practices that lead to everyday brilliance. He is the author of six books (The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Louder Than Words, Herding Tigers, The Motivation Code, Daily Creative) which have been translated into more than a dozen languages, and he speaks and consults across dozens of industries on creativity, leadership, and passion for work. With more than fifteen million downloads, his podcast The Accidental Creative offers weekly tips for how to stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy. Todd's book Die Empty was named by Amazon.com as one of the best books of 2013. His latest book, Daily Creative, offers daily sparks of inspiration and practical advice for creative pros.

For over a decade Todd has helped readers unlock their creative potential and find new ways to apply their talents. In this new book Todd explores the benefits of reflecting on creative practices on a daily basis by creating a daily guide which succinctly and contemplatively welcomes readers to reflect upon both their creative potential and the ways that creativity can be applied in the most unlikely of work and life circumstances. Todd Henry is the founder of Accidental Creative, a company that helps creative people and teams be prolific, brilliant and healthy. He regularly speaks and consults with companies about how to develop practices that lead to everyday brilliance.

Each daily reading is: Quick: Takes less than 5 minutes to complete Focused: Centers around a specific theme Inspiring: Includes a quote from great thinkers and creatives throughout history Actionable: Wraps with a daily action to help you achieve results Even if you don't think of yourself as creative, you'd probably be surprised by how many creative tools you use every day. You solve problems, design, write, invent, or in other words―create. But the pressure we feel to continually create value with our minds can cause tremendous stress and eventually neutralize our ability to be effective in our roles long term.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12 https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Todd Henry is an international speaker and best-selling author of 6 books including, The Accidental Creative, Herding Tigers, Die Empty, and his latest book is called The Daily Creative. Notes: The mantra Todd tells himself before going on stage is, "Be Present. Be Yourself." This is a reminder to be in the room, and pay attention to the nuance... And don't try to be someone you're not. Don't apologize for your existence. Authenticity shows that you have skin in the game. I am putting my actions where my mouth is. We crave real experiences: We do business with human beings. The most valuable thing we can do is make genuine connections with people. Make people feel seen and known. Creativity is problem-solving. If you solve problems every day, you're creative. Have a BIG VISION. Walt Disney started as a cartoonist. Todd has Disney's business plan from 1967 hanging up on his wall. All arrows point to the creative output of the film team. Do the "What would blow your mind?" Exercise. Write a list of things that would blow your mind if you accomplished them in the next 10-15 years. What did you do? Who did you do it with? What impact did it have on others? Our greatest work will be accomplished in the community of others. Todd intends to influence 28 million people. That is roughly 17% of working Americans in his field. That ambition points his mind in a direction. Where do good ideas come from? Adjacent possibilities. "I'm not trying to build a business. I'm trying to grow a life." It's important for your kids to see you doing work. You must grow comfortable with Asking Uncomfortable Questions – Brilliant, effective creative professionals are willing to ask inconvenient and uncomfortable questions. Difficult Conversations – Douglas Stone wrote, “Difficult conversations are almost never about getting the facts right. They are about conflicting perceptions, interpretations, and values.” Clean and dirty fuels — proving doubters wrong or proving supporters right? Detractors can be helpful if they care about you. Reward leading behaviors rather than trailing outcomes. Reward the behavior -- "That was a brave choice." Advice: Get a job and add as much value as you can. Be resourceful. Figure out how to get things done. Understand where you can uniquely add value and pay attention to what's needed. Stick around long enough to connect the dots. Don't follow your passion. What works better? Put in the hard work to master something rare and valuable, then deploy this leverage to steer your working life in directions that resonate. Todd had bumper stickers made that said: “Safety is not an option.” Coming up with safe answers over and over will make us irrelevant. “If you are not inspired, you will not inspire other people.” Focus on your inputs. You must take time to read, meet with mentors, and learn from a variety of sources. Pause. Reflect. As leaders, we must make this a priority. Buffalo, Not Cow – “Son, I need you to be the buffalo, not the cow.” In Colorado, when storms come, they almost always brew from the West. And then what happens is they roll out towards the East. Cows can sense that a storm is coming from this direction. So, a cow will try to run East to get away from the storm. Without knowing any better, the cows continue to try to outrun the storm. But instead of outrunning the storm, they run with the storm, maximizing the amount of pain, time, and frustration they experience from that storm. Buffaloes run at the storm and by running at the storm, they run straight through it, minimizing the amount of pain, time, and frustration they experience from that storm. Prune Relationships – Sometimes we need to cut ties with people who drain us.
