Aransas Savas, motivational strategist and coach, joins Jeff to explore the real drivers behind creativity, influence, and personal growth.
They dive into why healthy conflict is essential for innovation, how to transition from chasing positional power to embodying personal power, and why authenticity, not conformity, is the real superpower.
Aransas shares how embracing play, curiosity, and even our perceived limitations can unlock new possibilities in leadership, creativity, and life. This conversation reminds us that growth isn’t about fitting in - it’s about showing up as your truest self and finding the people and opportunities that see your value.
Key Topics:
- Why healthy conflict and tension fuel creativity
- Challenging societal norms to uncover your truth
- The shift from fitting in to standing out
- How to use play to solve problems and get unstuck
- Turning perceived weaknesses into your greatest strengths
- Finding community, courage, and personal power
