Description

Welcome back to The Switch! Today, Eric and I are stripping away the legends from things we often put on a pedestal, whether it's a pair of classic Jordans, a hit song, or any other creative artifact like a live band. We're talking about seeing things for what they really are, just like Marcus Aurelius did with food—seeing past the surface to understand the essence.

Switch-it-up Steps:

• Look Beyond the Hype: Everything iconic started somewhere simple. Understand that what’s legendary now was once just an idea someone dared to execute.
• Creativity Under Pressure: We dive into how sometimes lacking necessities, like worrying about your next meal, can spark creativity, though it's usually easier to create when your basic needs are met, as Maslow's hierarchy suggests.
• Inspiration from the Struggle: Kanye West’s journey with his music reminds us that not getting support initially can sometimes free you to create without boundaries.

Join us as we learn to appreciate the roots of greatness and understand how we can apply this to our own creative projects. Tune in, strip back the legend, and hit the switch, see past appearances!
