Episode Description from the Publisher

n this week's Spark, Adam J. Kurtz gets refreshingly honest about creativity, identity, and letting go of perfection. From why "good enough" is often more than enough, to the surprising power of putting on a pair of socks, Adam shares the small shifts that can make a big difference to your day. He reflects on trusting your instincts, embracing imperfection, and why chasing "cool" might be the very thing holding you back. There's humour, a bit of chaos, and some genuinely thoughtful moments along the way, including a simple question about what you'd do with $150 that reveals more than you might expect about priorities, creativity, and how we choose to live. It's a short one, but it might just stay with you.
