230 Best Of: How Heading Outside Makes Your Brain More Creative (Cordele Glass)

Whenever I explain why heading outside is so very good for creativity and the art of trying new things, I refer back to this conversation with positive psychologist Cordele Glass, one of my most favorite interviews for the podcast. I loved this conversation because it had a direct impact on how I think about the world and heading outside. I’m excited for you to hear it.
