Chaos and Creativity
Finding the Story Within Your Origin Story
In this mini episode, Lou and Kimi revisit the story behind Chaos and Creativity and reflect on the power of origin stories. The ones that are messy. The ones that take time. The ones that remind us why we do the work.
It started at the bar at The Buckeye Roadhouse. Lou and Kimi, a bottle of red, and a lot of chaos.
Now, many years later, we got to thinking… where does a creative journey really begin?
Do origin stories give us a sense of hope? Do they help us find happiness, or explain why people become who they are for better or worse? Is there always a bit of magic in the beginning, or sometimes a reason things go dark?
Lou and Kimi explore how every artist has their own unique story, and why no one origin story needs to be better than another. It’s about finding the story within your story. And sometimes, asking the right questions to get to someone else’s.
So tell us — what’s your origin story?
Stay tuned for more Chaos & Creativity on Instagram. And remember—always act a little cooler than you feel!
