Episode 12: - Culture, Creativity & Leaving Your Bubble 

Steph and Jay unpack “cultural capital”—what we consume vs. what truly shapes us—spanning NYC art walks, immigrant-run cafés, small-town festivals, and family traditions. They dive into stepping outside your bubble (imposter syndrome included), how discomfort builds empathy, and how fresh perspectives fuel creativity and relationships. Quick rapid-fire to close. 

Topics Covered: 

  • Culture in motion: art, fashion, food, and travel shaping daily life 
  • City vs. small town: blending energy, ideas, and traditions 
  • Openness: individuals over group “cultures” 
  • Stepping out: discomfort, curiosity, creative growth 
  • Imposter syndrome: turning intimidation into output 
  • Empathy & creativity: how new views shape better work 

From art and travel to stepping outside your comfort zone, this one’s all about letting culture feed your creativity. Thanks for listening—and remember, the best inspiration usually lives just outside your bubble.
