In this episode, Mike Raven speaks with Jodanna Bird, a conceptual art director, self-published author, creative coach, and TEDx speaker passionate about creativity.

Growing up in an environment that encouraged imagination and curiosity shaped Jo's approach to creativity. Her boundless optimism and view of creativity show that embracing it can help push the boundaries of what we believe we're capable of and aid self-discovery.

Creativity has anchored Jo in the world. Here, we discuss building resilience, the power of the subconscious mind, and how ideas can help unlock our limits to understand who we can become.
