Creativity Squared: On 100K Impressions of #ImaginationAge Post 🤩
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
Dear Creativity Squared Member —
Happy New Year! Hope your 2025 is off to a wonderful start! ✨
For those impacted by the devastating wildfires in LA, my heart is with your heart.
Here in Cincinnati, I’m slowly re-emerging after a glorious hibernation over the holidays and being snowed in this past week. My car is still stuck in the driveway! ❄️
I spent a lot of time offline, organizing and unpacking the last of my boxes from my pandemic move four years ago. The podcast studio (aka my dining room!) also got an upgrade — I’ll show ya a preview next week. A friend is helping me hang some photos first (as that is not in my zone of genius! 😋).
Over on LinkedIn, a post I published six days ago on the #ImaginationAge has over 93.5K THOUSAND impressions!! Let’s see if we can get it to over 100K!! 💝🪄✨
And if you haven’t had a chance to check out my interview with King Willonius — the show’s 75th episode! 🎉 — I recommend starting by reading the blog post and then watching or listening to the interview. It’s some of my best work in a while, and I hope you really enjoy it!
Our 2025 podcast season will kick off again in April, but we’ll keep the newsletter going between now and then, aside from the holidays.
Until next week, here’s to playing in the playground of possibility and manifesting more magic in 2025! 🪄✨
With love,
Helen (Human)

How creatives are collaborating with A.I.

🦋 I'm SUPER excited to share that my upcoming SXSW presentation, Farewell, Information Age — Welcome to the Imagination Age, is becoming a book! 📗 The conversations on my podcast Creativity Squared have informed many of the concepts, and I couldn’t be more excited to present them on stage in Austin in March and in print this year. Pre-order your copy today as a crowd-funded advance to support an independent female voice. Your support will enable me to bring this idea to life — and is greatly appreciated! 💛

Listen: Ep.75 BBL Drizzy, A.I. & Manifesting A.I.: Discover How Will Hatcher Manifested His Way to a Time100 A.I. 2024 Honoree

“If you're trying to play life safe, then I don't think you can fully experience life, you know. So you gotta go to places that you never been before, be in uncomfortable situations, because that's where the real growth is.” -King WilloniusDiscover the magic of manifesting in a Creativity Squared exclusive interview from the ONLY comedian (and one of two artists!) who’s a Time100 AI 2024 honoree in the Innovators category: King Willonius. 👑
His real name is Willonius Hatcher (his first name is pronounced “Will-OWN-ee-us,” and he also goes by Will). 2024 has been a breakout year for Will after his “BBL Drizzy” comedy song went viral — the first song made in collaboration with A.I. that became a cultural phenomenon, transcending genres and mediums!
What do Burning Man, Dune 2, and the Frost Planetarium have to do with his story? Listen in to our 75th episode — and the last one for 2024! — to find out.
Creativity Squared interviewed Will live at the FilmGate Miami Interactive Festival XI, one of the top ten immersive festivals in the world! You’ll hear why it’s so special from the festival’s Head Curator, Co-Founder, and Executive Producer, Diliana Alexander.
On opening night, the FilmGate Miami audience got a preview of the “BBL Drizzy Musical Dome Experience”. Next year, Creativity Squared will be back to see the full production and host another time capsule conversation with Will.
Once you check out the interview, you’ll know that Will is just scratching the surface of what’s possible — he’s ahead of the entertainment industries, and is definitely one to follow!
Why did he make the Time100 AI 2024 Innovators list?
