In this episode of Connected Conversations for Creatives, we explore the intersection of resilience and creativity, and how embracing life's challenges can fuel our artistic journey. I’m thrilled to be joined by Joel David Bond, a world traveler and writer whose self-published book, "As Large As Your Spirit", is a testament to his resilient spirit. Joel shares powerful stories from his life, including his unexpected five-month stay on a remote Greek island during the pandemic as well as his work with refugees. We talk about how empathy shapes our creative work, how personal struggles like grief can deepen our art, and the importance of flipping the script on "what if" with a positive outlook. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn adversity into inspiration, this episode is for you. Let’s dive in!Connect with Joel:
