What if creativity isn’t about “expressing yourself”, but about understanding yourself?
In this episode, Max sits down with Fredrik Härén, the Creativity Explorer who has spent decades traveling the world to understand how humans create — and the truth he’s uncovered will challenge everything you assume about creativity.

This episode goes straight into the uncomfortable, the surprising, and the transformative parts of creativity most people never talk about.

Prepare to rethink everything:
➡️ Why Westerners misunderstand creativity
➡️ The Bhutan idea that destroys the “expression” myth
➡️ Why “creative anxiety” might not even be real
➡️ The Icelandic insult that explains modern innovation
➡️ Why your company should stop thinking in demographics
➡️ How global travel rewires your creative brain
➡️ Why AI is NOT a threat to creators — it’s the biggest upgrade ever
➡️ How curiosity separates innovators from followers
➡️ The emotional high of having an idea — and why we crave it

If you’re tired of shallow creativity advice, this is the episode that finally goes deeper.
