This episode of The Spitfire Podcast is a full-on masterclass in reigniting your creative fire—and your life. Host Lauren LeMunyan welcomes transformational coach, award-winning filmmaker, and founder of AudPop, Paige Williams, for a juicy, soul-stirring conversation that covers everything from the power of play to the prison of perfectionism.
Together, they dive into Paige’s transformative framework, The 12 Creative Keys, a deeply personal and practical journey from creative desperation to spiritual awakening. Through honesty, laughter, and a few well-placed EM dashes, Paige and Lauren explore how creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s a vital force within all of us, waiting to be remembered.
They cover:
Why creativity is spiritual and how disconnection kills it
How childhood play lays the foundation for adult innovation
The false stories we absorb and the power of rewriting our narratives
The role of courage, surrender, and love in unlocking our genius
What it really takes to shift from surviving to soul-aligned thriving
Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or just trying to get out of your own damn way, this episode is packed with inspiration, clarity, and a permission slip to be fully you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
