Anxiety… or creative energy with nowhere to go? Maybe it needs less analyzing and more expressing.
This week, James McCrae of James McCrae & Mystic Poets Society on the pod to chat creativity, purpose, & being human.
We get into mushrooms in Central Park, ayahuasca, creativity as therapy, trusting the muse, spirituality without the dogma, and whether our best ideas come from us or through us.
James also shares how losing his advertising job helped launch his creative career, his take on AI as an assistant rather than artist, and the wild story behind Instructions Before Visiting Earth—the poem that unexpectedly reached more than 100 million people and is becoming a full poetry collection in 2027. ⚡️🤘🏼
