If ever there were a man of action, it’s expertise theorist Jason Randal, whose boundless passion has led him to develop a jaw-dropping array of specialties. In his kinetic talk, Randal discusses how to use “stretching” to increase memory and focus, the relationship between play and learning, and the transformative power of surrounding yourself with enthusiastic, passionate people. Listen to his speech at 99%conference. I love his closing advice from this speech: “reduce everything you wanna do to what you can do right now and… do it”.

We all have it as a part of our evolutionary equipment. Patterns, expectations, assumptions, biased thoughts; even precognition when step outside the scientific field. Trying to look at the world without being overwhelmed by the gained knowledge is a tough experiment, but seems to be necessary while exploring creative power. As a (creative) thinker you must take for granted that what you see is not certain. As for me I do not take anything for certain and it has always been that way since I recall (which didn’t seem to be advantage at all, but…). Beau Lotto tries to find out what is really out there.
