I recently joined Your World of Creativity with Mark Stinson as part of a roundtable discussion on a question every creative person eventually faces: what keeps you moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan?
Rejection, uncertainty, financial pressure, health setbacks, a plan that just falls apart — every creative person hits a wall at some point. What separates the people who keep creating, leading, and growing from the ones who stall out isn't luck. It's resilience — and it's built, not inherited.
This special roundtable episode digs into Resilience, one of the six core lessons from Mark's new book, UNLOCK Your World of Creativity: 6 Key Lessons Learned from More Than 250 Creatives Worldwide. I joined fellow guests Ashley Jablow, Mike Foster, and Kate Kayaian for a conversation that moved through military service, entrepreneurship, coaching, and personal reinvention — different paths that all arrive at the same truth: adversity, handled well, becomes the raw material for growth.
In this episode, we get into:
Why resilience is forged through lived experience, not something you're simply born with
How setbacks and obstacles act as teachers, not just tests
The tight connection between resilience and creative output
Sustainable success versus the burnout trap
Leading yourself and others through uncertainty and change
Everyday habits that keep you grounded and adaptable
How the hardest chapters often end up shaping your purpose
