Everyone's A Creator✨ (Recalibrating My Creative Act Part 1)

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In this video, I discuss my thoughts on the first two chapters of The Creative Act by Rick Ruben, including intuition, mindfulness, and a little quantum physics (https://amzn.to/3RECYia). Over the last 6 months (since I quit my job as a lawyer) I have been exploring creativity and what it means to live a good life through my newsletter: [Recalibrating](https://wanderloots.substack.com/). As part of this exploration, I have been recalibrating my own creative act to overcome burnout while maintaining mindful productivity. Many of my artist friends have said great things about The Creative Act so I decided to listen to the book and create a video journal of my thoughts. I hope my commentary can be valuable to you as the viewer (and future me when I am editing these videos and revisiting these concepts). Note, this is by no means a "spoiler" of the book, merely my additional thoughts that were sparked by listening to The Creative Act. I highly recommend reading this book. In the previous video (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWhMzDKA7vJ4SLS2e6KiPmu9mku81B__Y) I introduce who I am, how I burnt out, and what I've been doing since I quit my job. After working for 5+ years at a corporate law firm as an intellectual property lawyer and patent agent, I quit my job to pursue a life of freedom and creativity. Why? I was burnt out by my job and I knew that I needed to make a change. The purpose of Recalibrating is to explore what it means to be human in a world that is increasingly being impacted by artificial intelligence (AI), while teaching you how to build your own creation system to tap into the digital economy (creator economy, knowledge economy, attention economy). This video series complements my Recalibrating newsletter, providing additional context to the world I am building here. I hope you enjoy! ✨ P.S.

I am an intellectual property lawyer, patent agent,, blockchain specialist, photographer, animator, videographer, writer and studied engineering. I quit my job to pursue a life of creativity while teaching people along the way. The world is changing more rapidly than ever before. Learning how to deal with change and recalibrate is the best skill I can learn, and hopefully the best skill I can teach you ✨
