Doing Scary Things with Anna Packer and Katie Snyder

Anna talks to Katie about the book she’s been writing that inspired them to start this podcast. Katie argues that the belief that everyone is creative will change the way people think about their life and what they’re capable of pursuing and achieving. She talks about some of the struggles that have come from writing her first book and where she’s at in the process. She also talks about how this story is closer to her own than she could have ever imagined.

She debunks the myth of being born with talents or gifts versus working hard for what you’d like to achieve. She also suggests that creativity is one of the most misunderstood concepts in our world and clarifies the actual definition of it. Katie talks about how not letting yourself begin in pursuing your passions doesn’t hurt or affect anyone but yourself and how everyone has the right to begin.

Later, Anna and Katie make a really special announcement regarding new music they are releasing under the band name Jasper and Jade, and where that name came from. They share that by doing their scary thing, they are hoping to inspire others to do theirs.
