About This Podcast

Chasing Genius is a podcast about the pursuit of creative mastery. It’s for creatives who treat their work like a practice, showing up, experimenting, failing forward, and evolving in public. Each episode unpacks lessons from artists, athletes, and cultural icons, not to idolize them, but to study their habits, mindset, and process. The focus isn’t on overnight success, but on what happens in the quiet, consistent hours that shape real genius. The genius in me sees the genius in you.
