## Resource

This week on Well Being, the gang digs into the creative process through the lens of The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin and explores the idea of creative seeds—those tiny sparks of inspiration that can grow into something much bigger if we’re willing to nurture them. Before that, it’s time for Sparks of Inspiration! Theo shares his love for Resident Evil 9, Kel takes us through a full room makeover powered by technology, determination, and a car jack, and Andy returns from vacation to workplace shakeups, unexpected changes, and a summer full of projects. The conversation turns toward creativity, stagnation, and the challenge of finding ideas when the well feels dry. The crew discusses collecting seeds without judging them too quickly, balancing personal projects with professional fulfillment, and why sometimes the hardest part of creating is simply figuring out what to make next. Plus: photography vs. filmmaking, creative droughts, D&D worldbuilding, office chaos, music festival totems, and why every creator needs a few seeds planted for the future. A thoughtful episode about trusting the process, staying curious, and leaving room for ideas to grow.
