Donna Peters interviews award-winning Chief Creativity Officer and Founder of Curiosity Division, Mark Musto.

We need creative solutions to complex challenges RIGHT NOW.  Mark offers up a powerful challenge to all of us: constraints are your friend when it comes to creativity and finding new ways of doing things.  And right now we are all under a lot of constraints--professionally and personally.  Flex your creativity muscle with this episode.

HIGHLIGHTS OF EPISODE:
--Mark's Core Values: curiosity, passion, candor, integrity
--Mark encourages us to re-invigorate the creativity that lies in all of us:

• everyone is creative 

• creativity requires emotional safety

• to find new solutions, approach challenges with a child-like mind

• remember constraints are your friend--the greatest creativity can come from knowing what is NOT possible

• create a little garden for yourself to exercise your creativity muscles--e.g., allow time for mindfulness, to read something new, to visit museums, to exercise

• quality starts with quantity--practice, create volume, allow yourself to make mistakes and play
