  • How To Increase Creative Output
    Jun 23 2025

    Have you ever wondered why you’re so disciplined about some projects, but so wild and chaotic about others? This week we talk about the balance between inspiration and execution by using the concepts of “math and poetry.” Whether you’re acting, writing, or brainstorming your next big idea, Misha shares mindset shifts and creative rituals to help you engage both the logical and emotional aspects of your process. Both of these polarities are essential for the creative act, and you should walk away with clarity on how to increase both.
