Using Creativity to Create Connection featuring Carolyn Blank, Beth Huddleston, and Amy Meyers
Manage episode 488240574 series 3484007
In this episode, I’ve invited three women on the show who also happen to be my dear friends — they don’t know each other, but I’ve known them for decades. And in this past year, I’ve watched each of them explode with creativity. Carolyn Blank Cary published a cookbook, which became a mini memoir; Beth Huddleston developed an app introducing infants and toddlers to the sounds of languages and music from around the world; and Amy Meyers pivoted from a lifetime of executive recruiting and political consulting and started her own business, Mrs. Meyer’s Etiquette.
All of these women are over 60, which on its own is inspirational. But more importantly, they’re using their creativity for connection — to create a world where people are kinder to one another, understand one another, and break bread with one another.
Takeaways:
- your childhood interests will likely turn out to be your adult passions
- no one will have as much excitement for your project as you do, so take ownership of it if you want it done well
- you may feel overwhelmed pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, but you’ll also feel alive
- and either go big or go home.
