After years of studying improvisational theater theory and observing the world, I’m convinced that every person is a creative genius. My mission is to help each person believe that, too.

Having confidence in your one-of-a-kind, endless, always-ready creative source changes how you feel about any challenge, particularly an unexpected one. 

You're a genius. The world needs your special brand of brilliance. Let it out!
