http://www.alainguillot.com/todd-henry/ Todd Henry is an author, a speaker, a blogger, a podcaster and an inspiration in the creative community. His topic of expertise is creativity, productivity, and leadership. His books include: The Accidental Creative: How to Be Brilliant at a Moment's Notice (2011) Die Empty: Unleash Your Best Work Every Day (2013) Louder than Words: Harness the Power of Your Authentic Voice ( 2015 ) Herding Tigers: Be the Leader That Creative People Need Highlights from the interview Creativity is problem-solving, which is not the same as creating art. Don't wait for inspiration to come to start doing creative work. Start doing the work, and let creativity come when it comes. Be conscious of the inputs in your life, inputs like food, friends, information, entertainment, education. If you sit around and drink beer all day long, that's not a great input. If you read, spend time with positive-minded friends, and eat a healthy diet, then you are putting the good stuff into your body and mind.
