Aartjan van Erkel Podcast256. Pingpong je populariteit omhoogSusan Sarandon speelde in bijna 80 films sinds haar debuutfilm in 1974. Ik zag haar voor het eerst in Thelma & Louise in 1991 en voor het laatst in de komedie Ride The Eagle, die ik even zou gaan kijken op Prime Video als ik jou was.
Maar ze heeft niet alleen een belachelijk groot oeuvre aan films. Sarandon staat ook bekend als activist tegen oorlog, tegen honger en als UNICEF-ambassadeur.
En er is ook nog een kant haar persoonlijkheid die minder bekend is. Ze opende 15 jaar geleden namelijk een ping pong bar in New York City. Die inmiddels...

Motivation is all about being able to take action. But the question is… what action are we taking? We only want to take more action if that action is aligned with where we want to go.
A belief system is a set of beliefs we have about what is right or wrong, what is true or false, and what things mean to us. It forms all our ethical beliefs about good and bad...

2021-05-0324 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationFind Creative Inspiration - How Sensitivity & Problem Discovery Lead to InnovationCreative people are sensitive to problems, but that’s a good thing. Most people are confronted with a problem and they choose to ignore it. Others have smaller problems that they don’t even consciously recognize are problems. Creativity thrives when there are problems. They guide our creative behavior. They teach us what we need to do. They show us what needs or attention… and they inspire us to take action. What’s more, they effect every part of the creative process, from the creation of the initial idea, to to problem solving required to build it, to the marketin...
2021-04-3005 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationMarketing Innovation: How To Convince People To Value What They Just Learned ExistedHow do you convince people to value your creation when they just learned what it is? Innovations are solutions to problems.
Some solutions are wildly original, like the first Google algorithm or iPhone. These solutions violently shoved the industry in a new direction. Wherever Yahoo was going, wherever the Motorola Razor was going, it no longer mattered.
Sometimes those solutions push an industry forward in the direction it was already heading. Every few years, a new gaming console comes out with more power than the last generation. The PS4 becomes the PS5. There are some...
2021-04-2808 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationDo More With Less - What Video Game Design Can Teach Us About InnovationOne of my secret passions is game design. I love watching YouTube videos about how games are made and why game developers made the decisions that they did. The topic for this episode was inspired by 2 YouTube channels that explain video game design really well. One is Adam Millard, who has the Architect of Games. The other is Mark Brown, who has Game Makers Toolkit. Even if you’re not designing a video game yourself, there’s a lot you can learn from how they’re designed. There are a lot of parallels between what game designers go through and wh...
2021-04-2606 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationBizarre Ways Frustration Influences CreativityWhen we deal with creativity blocks on this show, we’ve generally talked about procrastination because that’s an area where many people struggle. In this episode, I want to talk about another important way we block ourselves: Not being willing to put down the wrong tool. Relying on the wrong thinking strategy to solve a problem is a recipe for frustration. It seems like such an easy fix, yet it’s incredibly difficult to both realize your using the wrong tool and, when you do, actually put it down and try a new one. This has been shown by som...
2021-04-2307 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationPull Motivation - How Curiosity Motivates Without Leaving You DrainedLong before he was the world’s most famous scientist, Einstein use to sit on the bus and imagine what would happen if the bus traveled at the speed of light. His curious nature was responsible for the bizarre thought experiments he loved so much, and his continued curiosity is what motivated him to keep playing with the ideas for long periods of time.
Creative people are incredibly curious people. They’re always tinkering with ideas. They’re curious about how things work and about how old ideas can be repurpose for something new. Curiosity is one of the...

This is one of the best motivational techniques you can use. There’s no better way to start your creative process then with a burst of positive emotions.
Those positive emotions at the beginning of your workday become addicting. Procrastination is no longer a struggle when you know there’s a pleasurable experience waiting for you the moment you sit down to get your creative work done. This stands in stark contrast to what most people do to start off their work...
2021-04-1905 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationWhy You Should Spend More Time Daydreaming To Boost CreativityDaydreaming is fun. If you’re a creative person, it’s also surprisingly productive. So why don’t we do it more often? The short answer is ego.
While daydreaming IS productive, it doesn’t FEEL productive. That’s an important distinction when it comes to motivation. The brain gives far more weight to how you subjectively feel about something than to cold-hard facts about it. This is why you can’t simply recite airline safety facts to a person who’s afraid of flying. Subjective feelings override objective facts.
Why is daydreaming productive for creative peopl...
2021-04-1605 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationHow To Motivate Employees To Be CreativeWhat drives creative people to do what they do and how can we motivate people to be more creative? This is a particularly important question for businesses. While an entrepreneur might start a company because they’re already motivated to innovate, they have far less control over the people they hire.
There are 2 types of motivation that dominate creativity research: Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is when we are motivated from the inside. We’re intrinsically motivated whenever we do something because of the way it makes us feel. Any time you engage in some type of p...
2021-04-1405 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationHow “I Can’t” Destroys Creativity (Constraints)In an earlier episode, we talked about how constraints guide your creative work. To refresh your memory, constraints are the boundaries that are placed on a product. Constraints are how we ensure that our creative work is not just unique, but useful as well. When we correctly define our constraints, we understand the full scope of the problem. We’re about to say, if I do X, Y, and Z, I should be able to create a product that will be useful to others.
Many of those constraints come from the outside world. These external constraints are th...

Creativity and culture are inseparable. In no small way, creative people are responsible for the world around us.

2021-04-0913 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationCreativity Without Stress: How Elaboration Helps Us Create Without WorryingIdeas don’t pop into our heads fully formed and ready to launch. The process from initial idea to a finished product worthy of other people’s attention can be a long one.
Each idea develops over time. Your very first attempt at a creative idea will likely only capture the general feeling of what you’re after. Your earliest work tends to be very abstract in nature. There are general ideas you’d like to pursue, but you’ll likely find yourself with very few concrete ideas to work with. This is the nature of the creative p...
2021-04-0705 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationInstant Motivation: How Focus Influences Our CreativityWhat you focus on determines how you feel. When you think about happy memories, you’ll naturally feel happier. When you think about the awful thing someone did to you in the past, before long you’ll start feeling that in your body. Your attention determines how you feel.
When we’re creating, our focus powerfully shapes our motivation. When we focus on how large a project is or how there are so many moving parts that something is bound to fail… whenever our focus is predominately on something negative then motivation goes down.
But the reve...
2021-04-0504 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationPerceptGenesis: How Mental Labels Influence CreativityInnovative people spend so much time questioning the assumptions of their industry, but they rarely question their own assumptions and belief systems with the same level of scrutiny. How you perceive the world has a huge influence on your personal and professional life. Those perceptions come together to form beliefs, and those beliefs have a huge impact on the actions we take.
Percept-Genesis is the process we use to assign meaning to the world. Your brain has 2 complimentary strategies for this: Bottom-Up Processing & Top-Down Processing.
Bottom-Up processing begins with an experience and the mind reacts...
2021-04-0214 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationChange Your Mental State To Boost Your Creativity: How Emotions Influence CreativityCreativity is just as much an emotional process as it is a cognitive one. Creativity isn’t just WHAT you’re thinking, it’s HOW you’re thinking. The emotional state that you’re in when you create powerfully influences your process, which, of course, determines your outcome.
Being a stand-up comedian made this really easy for me to notice. I’m not paid to write comedy. Nobody cares if I spend 8 hours a day writing new jokes to tell on stage or if I go on stage and improvise everything I say on the spot. It doesn’t matt...
2021-03-3104 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationMarketing Creativity: Introverts & ExtrovertsSome of us are shy introverts, some of us are outgoing extroverts, but we all need to market our creativity. Marketing is always a tough topic for creative people because the skills the we use to create our products is different from the skills we use to market them.
Introverts who are creative tend to be very good at the early stages of the creative process. They can find a quiet area and lots of time to thinking through their ideas.
Extroverts tend to be better when it comes to marketing those ideas. They’re mo...
2021-03-2905 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationWhy You Can’t Rush Creativity: Incubating Creative IdeasIdeas are like stupid children, you need to give them a chance to grow up before you’d actually want to be seen in public with them. Of course, I’m not a father, so perhaps I’m wrong.
Incubation is about giving your ideas time to mature. When you incubate a problem, you’re allowing your subconscious mind to weigh in. Have you ever struggled with a problem, decided to go to bed, and then woke up in the morning with the perfect solution? It happens all the time. You can thank your subconscious brain.

2021-03-2610 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationHow Contradictory Personality Traits Lead To CreativityOne of the most fascinating aspects of the creative personality is how often creative people have contradictory personality traits. Creative problem solving is incredibly difficult. There are so many moving pieces that it’s hard to know what to even try. This is why so much advice centers on shifting your perspective. Look at the problem from the top, then from the bottom, then from the inside. Each change in perspective is attempts to find a problem’s weak point. This is how it works when using creative techniques.
The creative personality already has a lot of this...

2021-03-2205 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationSteve Martin’s Creativity: The Rebel’s RebelSteve Martin is one of my all-time favorite creative people. What makes him so special is that he somehow managed to rebel against a group of comedians who were themselves in a rebellion. He became the most financially successful stand-up comedian of all time, selling out arenas years in advance. He was one of the first rock starts of comedy. In the process, he developed an entirely new genre of stand-up comedy, known today as anti-comedy. Anti-comedy is the art of being so unfunny, that you’re funny. It’s telling a corny, awful pun, but selling it as if i...
2021-03-1914 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationWhy We Struggle To Think Creatively: Over-Inclusive ThinkingThe labels in your head are destroying your creativity. The human brain loves it when it can classify everything into nice, neat, little boxes. It loves organizing information. This is what its good at. But this can be a huge problem for creative people who love combining ideas together. When ideas are too organized in the brain, we call it over-inclusive thinking. Think of it as the tendency for creative people to focus too much on what makes things different that they don’t realize why they’re similar.
Why is this even a problem in the first...

What I love most about running an experiment is that it implies that you don’t know what will happen. You might have a guess, but you aren’t sure.
Experiments require that we put down our ego. We say “I’m not sure what will happen, but I’m willing to find out.”
If you want to explore the unknown or be an innovator, get comfortable with experimentation. The more original your idea is, the less prior knowledge you’ll have about...

Kaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationMaslow's Hierarchy (For Creatives): How To Be a Happier, Creative PersonMaslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is one of the most groundbreaking theories of human psychology. It posits that human needs are hierarchical. We must satisfy the lower needs before we can satisfy the higher needs. There are 5 groups of humans needs. From the lowest to the highest, those needs are:
1- Psychological Needs (food, water, warmth)
2- Safety Needs (physical safety)
3- Belongingness and Love Needs (Friends, intimate relationships)

2021-03-1207 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationIdentity: How Protecting Your Ego Kills Your CreativityHow do you view yourself? What identity have you created for yourself? When you tell yourself the story of you, what do you say? What experiences have shaped you? What beliefs do you hold? What values guide you? Your answers to all of these questions make up your identity. They are what psychological researchers would call your “Self-concept.”
Your identity plays a massive role in your life, but it does so in the background. We don’t explicitly say “I’m a kind person, so I’m going to help this person.” Yet that’s exactly what happens. Our beh...

We invest time, energy, and oftentimes a lot of money pursuing our ideas. Ideas that are not guaranteed to work. Creativity researchers have identified risk taking as one of the most important aspects of the creative personality. Simply put, if you’re not willing to take risks, you’re not going to be a highly original thinker, or, at least you want get those highly original ideas in front of the public. People who are too shy to take risks, tend to not be creative people. Being able to take risks is that important.

The vast majority of my time writing is spend playing around with ideas in my imagination. It’s only after I find something interesting in my imagination that I actually write it down and begin working with it.

Make room for something unexpectedly awesome. Oftentimes, as creative people we love making decisions. We tend to be really competitive people, so we love pushing forward. While being competitive can be helpful, it also focuses us a bit too much on the path ahead of us. We get so focused on trying to win, that we end up missing the original ideas that would actually help us. The more competitive you are, the more you’ll focus on what’s directly ahead of you.

Creative people do the unexpected. They mix things up. They expose themselves to new ideas and incorporate them in fresh and interesting ways. On the other hand, schedule and habits invite the expected and mundane into our lives. The reject fresh and interesting ways of doing things… how could these two things possibly get along?

This is called self-efficacy, and it plays one of the most important roles in motivation.
Self-efficacy is the belief that you have the ability to succeed. People who have self-efficacy see themselves in the driver’s seat of their life.

It was an odd case to be in court, even by today’s standards. Ford was suing the Chicago Tribune for slander. Specifically, for being called an ignorant anarchist.
The defense set out to prove that Henry Ford was ignorant by asking him questions about American History, questions that Henry Ford was rarely able to answer. The court transcripts become popular reading at the time. People love it when the rich and powerful stu...

Both can be gray areas for people. What makes something useful is subjective. What’s useful to me isn’t necessarily useful to another person.
Artwork is a great example. While I recognize that abstract forms of art are highly valued by some people, I can’t actually see the value in it myself. To me, they seem like blotches of paint with no real purpose. But others see beauty in them. Neither of us are right or wrong. What’s useful is entirely subjective.

A lot of it comes down to feedback. Feedback is how we figure out if we’re moving closer to our goals. When we’re moving closer to our goals, we feel inspired to keep taking action. When we’re missing our goals, feedback invites us to correct course. Without feedback, we’re a boat sailing in the ocean without a compass or the stars to guide us.

Kaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationAmor Fati: Love Your FateAmor Fati translates into the "Love of fate.” Whatever happens in life, wherever you find yourself right now or tomorrow, love it. Getting angry at the world is useless. It does nothing to change the world and it makes you miserable in the process. Loving your fate doesn’t change the world either, but its not supposed to. It’s suppose to change you. And if you practice it consistently, it will.
Creativity is one of the most energy-intensive activities for the human brain. To be creative, your brain needs to override the normal, patterned way of thinkin...
2021-02-1211 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationDo The Opposite: Creativity Techniques For Original ThinkingOne of the easiest ways to ensure that your idea is unique is by simply doing the opposite of what others are doing. Every idea is made up for smaller ideas. In creativity research, we call these ideas “components.” Think of a component like a Lego piece. You can build whatever you like with them, but you need to have enough pieces, and you need those pieces to fit together. How good your overall idea is doesn’t depend on any single piece. It depends entirely on how those pieces fit together. When you practice the “Do The Opposite” strategy, y...
2021-02-1007 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationConstraints: Guiding Your Creativity Towards The Best SolutionSometimes creative people fall into the originality trap. They focus so much on originality that they lose focus on the other half of the creativity equation: effectiveness. Placing contraints on ourselves as creators is how we guide our creativity towards usefulness. They are a necessary component to great creative thinking. Your creative. Your a free thinker. You’re an artist. That’s true. But what matters is whether you can be a free thinker inside a set of constraints. When you see the problem differently than others, it only makes sense that you’d take different actions, based on differ...
2021-02-0807 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationMindfulness: Getting Clarity On Your Creative ProjectsMindfulness has so many implications to our lives, both inside and outside of creativity. Mindfulness is about taking control of how we perceive the world. We override the automatic behaviors that dominate our daily life and, instead, we view the situation from a fresh perspective. You can choose to be mindful. You can choose to hear the criticisms and not respond.
As you’re creating today, be mindful of how you’re approaching the problems. Pay particular attention to what preconceived notions you’re bringing into your work. This weekend, I encourage you to use mindfulness not just fo...
2021-02-0507 minKaizen Creativity: The Science of Creativity & InnovationIsolation & Gathering Your ThoughtsMost creative work requires long hours and deep thought. Your ability to get creative work done depends a lot on how much time you spend in isolation. The more time you spend in environments with low stimulation, the more you’ll find creative ideas bubbling up to the surface of your mind. As you’re creating today, make it a point to find isolation and gather your thoughts.
