The Accidental Creative

I've always had an interest in creativity and whether creativity is a gift you are born with or a skill which can be learned and developed.  If you fall into the "its a skill which can be learned and developed" camp, you will perhaps enjoy a podcast I found called  The Accidental Creative  (See also The Accidental Creative on iTunes).  The podcast is put out by Todd Henry of AccidentalCreative.com who targets this podcast for people who must "create on demand."  By this he means people in creative professions who must come up with creative ideas day in and day out against real deadlines for their employer or clients.  The podcast doesn't come out super often anymore but I always enjoyed Todd's point of view.  Here's a few quotes from his website:

Accidental Creative is a new breed of consultancy. We are connecting with thousands of creative pros through our online resources and services. We teach creatives how to thrive in an organizational setting and organizations how to better lead their creative teams and structure for long-term effectiveness.

We exist to free up creatives and organizations to make great stuff. (No pressure or anything…)

Accidental Creative helps those who must create to succeed (visual artists, musicians, writers, designers, idea people) unlock their creativity. Accidental Creative helps creatives find their passion so they can once again enjoy what they do and change the world with revolutionary ideas.
