The Creative Spark
Conversations that provide insight, empowerment and tools to help others live their best creative life!
In each episode host G. Brian Benson strives to have an organic chat with authors, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and actors, sharing their inspirational stories, strategies and wisdom that helped propel them to their own unique version of creative success. Brian, an observer of life, loves to share his curiosity and love of learning by means of insightful discussions. The process of learning how to find the joy and peace of mind that comes with stepping into one’s own skin, and going beyond anything one may have thought previously possible are just some of the take aways we hope you will have from The Creative Spark. It’s the place where creatives meet!
