In today’s episode (and what is now another favourite episode), Glenn and I had the extraordinary, inspirational, and activational opportunity to hang out with new friend, classmate, coach, keynote speaker, and author of "Play Your Bigger Game" - among other things - Rick Tamlyn! After telling us how much he loved our opening question, Rick began by telling us he believes we are all creative beings here to create. Not only that, but that it's fun to create! This was the jumping of point for a conversation that lasted nearly two hours, during which we touched on creating from life, rather than getting through it; and, that we're all making stuff up to calm down our anxiety. We talked about distinctions (e.g. how Rick is envious rather than jealous of Brené Brown), and how offering distinctions is a great leadership skill. We talked at length about what it means to play your bigger game; how you're never NOT showing up; how the antidote to doubt is actually commitment not confidence (and why Rick makes that distinction); and, that the real source of security is our creativity - creativity which is always, always, always looking for, and will ultimately find a home. Rick even told us about one of his favourite books, "Creativity Inc." by Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull, and why he's recommended it time and time again to people really interested in playing their bigger game! Context, creativity, "do to get" vs. "express and receive" (thank you Leza Danley); dominion vs. domination; identity vs. image... the conversation just kept on going! Rick also talked about what it was like when he found out Iyanla Vanzant had recently talked about his "Play Your Bigger Game" book and what it takes to be a leader on her inspirational show "Iyanla's Anti Viral Message"! This and so much more...! By the end of the conversation, all 3 of us were grinning ear to ear; and Glenn and I are still flying high days later! Glenn and I also gave a very heartfelt, grateful shout out to our podcast peeps, listing numerous cities and countries from all over the world to show our appreciation for your love and support! Thank *you*! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! A new episode posted every other week!
