the true roots of creativity and innovation - Malcolm Gladwell vid
Compelling video of Gladwell using Fleetwood Mac and the Beatles, amongst others, to illustrate how great art/creativity doesn't just happen overnight - it takes time, experimentation and PRACTICE to “rediscover the true roots of creativity and innovation.”
Devoting time and energy to your craft.
