Sparking Your Creative Genius / Pt. 1

“It just kind of starts with an idea, and then I sit down with my notebook and flush it out. Having a vision of what you want to do in the long run is helpful, have a plan. You just got to do it.”

The creative genius is powerful and shows up in many ways, shapes and forms.

Sometimes it is a romantic composition born of an upright piano in New York City. Other times, it is a podcast coming straight from my very own creative source. Then, there are other moments of genius, the ones that make us crack a smile, chuckle a bit, or break out in sidesplitting laughter.

On this episode of HAPPENING, Stand-Up Comic, Comedy Writer, Actress and Filmmaker, Kendra Cunningham, tells us how a joke is born and brought to the stage.

We discuss what it takes to fight the resistance that tries to keep us from getting creative, whether it is writing that book, starting that business, auditioning for that big role, or telling that joke.  

Ultimately, it comes down to a series of “P’s,” including the words “purpose”, “plan,” and “passion,” just to name a few.

What is it that you are trying to ignite and bring to life? Whatever it may be, requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and Sparking Your Creative Genius.

This is the first episode of a three-part series dedicated to making creative dreams a reality.

HAPPENING features an original piano composition by Chad Young - “Delusions”
