About this episode

"create more than you consume." Okay...but HOW!? We're all addicted to scrolling already. How do we stop the cycle for long enough to actually create something?

Well, we start taking notes. This episode is all about following your string of curiosity and getting serious about your interests. We've all heard the phrase "in order to be interesting, you need to be interested."

So let's tap into the power of our own interests with a newfound intentionality. Never heard of digital gardening? Don't worry. Think of today's episode as a digital gardening crash course.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

How to be a more interesting person
Why would taking notes help you be more creative?
What is a digital garden?
How do you create a digital garden?
