Episode Synopsis

This episode of The Craft of Being explores what it means to hold both structure and freedom in the creative process. Jonathan shares a concept called adaptive currency—a term rooted in physical fitness but deeply relevant to creative life. It's about the internal resource we spend when responding to change, challenge, or inspiration. It’s resilience, flexibility, and focus—not as fixed traits, but evolving capacities.

We talk about how creativity lives in the tension between openness and structure, between the part of us that dreams and the part that refines. From the neuroscience of improvisation to the slow art of iteration, this conversation offers a grounded look at creativity as something both embodied and practiced—something we build through presence, recovery, and trust in the process.
