In a creative slump? Hit the road - seriously. New places and new experiences stimulate your brain. They expose you to different ways of thinking, new cultures, and alternative approaches to solving problems. In this episode, we dig into why it's important to leave your zip code, both for personal growth and for your community's reputation. We share stories about how traveling can spark creativity, provide cultural awareness, and help you see the bigger picture beyond your usual context. But there's another layer: when you leave, you become an evangelist for where you're from. No one can choose your town if they don't know about it. By getting out and sharing your story, you're putting your community on the map. Tune in as we make the case that sometimes the best creative strategy is a road trip.
