Daily Creative with Todd Henry

Daily Creative helps creative professionals and leaders do brilliant work under pressure. Hosted by Todd Henry, author of The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, and Herding Tigers, the show (formerly The Accidental Creative podcast) has helped creative pros thrive since 2005. Being a creative professional should be the greatest job in the world. You get to solve problems, express yourself, and bring something new into the world, and you get paid to do it. What’s not to love? Yet every day, creative pros face tremendous pressure and uncertainty. The temptation is to play it safe, surrender to distraction, and settle for less than your best. Daily Creative is about making sure that isn’t your story. Each episode explores a challenge creative pros and leaders face every day: how to generate ideas under pressure, how to collaborate when you’re overwhelmed, how to lead your team and help them find their motivation, and how to keep your edge as AI changes the way we work. You’ll hear practical frameworks, honest stories, and conversations with authors, artists, and leaders, all designed to help you stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy. Whether you’re a designer, writer, marketer, entrepreneur, or leader of a creative team, it’s time to fall back in love with your work.
