What if the future of creativity wasn’t about doing more, but becoming more?
Dave Zaboski—former Disney animator (The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Fantasia 2000), expedition artist, startup founder, and creative philosopher—joins The Developing Life for one of our most powerful episodes to date.
🔹 From painting for the Dalai Lama
🔹 To sketching at 16,500 ft in search of a lost Incan temple
🔹 To developing the Universal Laws of Creativity...
...Dave’s story is a masterclass in aligning imagination, risk, and purpose.
In this conversation we explore:
⚡ The difference between knowledge and wisdom in the age of AI
⚡ Why care is the missing element in artificial intelligence
⚡ The “Socratic Prompting” method that turns AI into a thinking partner—not a crutch
⚡ How to reclaim your narrative when speed and pressure try to define you
⚡ Why creativity isn’t just for artists—but for everyone turning thought into form
This episode is for anyone who’s ready to slow down, go deeper, and step fully into their role as a creator—with courage, clarity, and care.

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. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
