We were designed by a creator to be creative and if you want to shine, you need to find the thing you love to do and do that.

Those are just slightly-paraphrased words of wisdom from Taylor Robinson, the guest on episode 9 of the Discover Grow Shinecast. You can find the media player below the photo.

Creativity and storytelling are a big part of this episode, but we sort of take a macro look at creativity and storytelling and then dive into how those relate to problem-solving, why kindness matters, and finding the thing that makes you shine and then going for it.

Taylor Robinson is a filmmaker and storyteller and owner of Six Foot Five Productions.

Storytelling is the most effective way to communicate anything, to anybody, about anything because everybody gets it.

Taylor Robinson, Six Foot Five Productions

Taylor says we’re designed to be creative and to solve problems. He poses the hypothesis that perhaps in our wealthy American culture we come up with problems to solve (or magnify our inconveniences into problems) because most of us don’t have the real problems that so many others in the world face each day (extreme poverty, hunger, starvation, lack of water, lack of shelter, diseases and conditions caused by lack of access to food, water, proper shelter, etc.).

Your greatest tool as a storyteller is that the audience always wants to know what happens next.

Taylor Robinson

In consuming other people’s creativity: music, films, books, we can find new ways to be creative. — Taylor Robinson

What makes someone shine?

Taylor says that’s a difficult question because the answer is unique to each person, but it’s also simple in that the answer is to find what we love to do and do that.

The clues to finding our purpose are in the activities and goals that give us joy and pleasure.
