In an interview with Wired magazine in 1996, Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.” Creativity is simply linking ideas. I buy it. In fact, this podcast is a product of linkages. Find out how in this episode.
