I have to admit… It still irks me a little bit when I realize, yet again, that my mom probably was right. Nonetheless, the little tidbit of wisdom that she used to keep me away from certain bad influences… I am going to use to urge you to get closer to certain good influences. Good creative influences!

“You are who your friends are.” This phrase certainly holds true in your creative life as well as your social life. If you truly want to foster your creative side, try to surround yourself with creative people. Creativity is the best catalyst for creativity! Sounds redundant, I know, but it is true!

So go out and surround yourself with creative people. If you need a starter, go ahead and look through my Twitter and Facebook friends. You can also go back through the old podcast episodes and the show notes will invariably link to some of the most creative people I know.

Now surround yourself with creative people and… go create something!
