I’m often fascinated by people who can rattle off a list of ideas when given a single prompt like it’s the easiest thing in the world to them. That, to me, is a total superpower.
Ideas, for me, are much more likely to be curated, found, sent down from the big idea cloud in the sky (very occasionally), but I’m not someone who can just reel a bunch of ideas off at the click of a finger.
I wish I could.

That’s the premise of this episode. I talk all about people who generate ideas vs people who gather them (like me!). Chances are, you’re mostly one more than the other, although maybe you flit back and forth between them, or you’re mostly one but a little of the other.
Whatever your mash up, I riff on this idea for a good 10 minutes (don’t worry, I include some excellent tips along the way).
I’d love to hear what you think about this topic, though. Let me know in the comments what side of the line you fall and whether you think I’m on point or not!
