Ideas are tricky little creatures. They don’t arrive on schedule. They don’t respond to emails. They show up unannounced—half-dressed, a little tipsy, carrying riddles instead of blueprints. And if you’re not paying attention, they slip right past you.
In this episode, we explore the art of catching ideas—the strange, zany, beautiful process of noticing the flicker, the glimmer, the quick flutter of something trying to be born. What if ideas are alive? What if they choose us as much as we choose them? And what if the best way to catch one isn’t with force, but with curiosity? Gentleness? A well-placed butterfly net made of wonder, play, and the willingness to look a little foolish?
Because the wildest ideas don’t land in spreadsheets. They land in the open palms of the ones who dare to hold out their hands.
