Francis Cholle on his Squircle Model of Creativity & Thinking
In this interview, we talked about:
- the importance of slowing down, meditation, and breath to connect with your creativity (and he did a brief guided meditation)
- the two different types of thinking: circle & square
- how to use them together to develop your creativity
- what happens when you rely solely on square thinking
- how letting go of your goals is sometimes the only way to reach them and yes, this is a paradox which Francis explains
- the importance of relaxing into the unknown
