Beyond Creativity
In an A.I.-driven world, where technology often seems to outpace human creativity, what role do we play? Welcome to Beyond Creativity—the podcast that explores what it really means to stay creative, adapt, and keep the human element alive in a time dominated by machines.
I’m Christian Kressmann, actor, NLP coach, and yes, I actually hold a PhD in Creativity (it sounds pretty impressive, though it doesn’t always feel that way). My mission? To combine theory and practice and bring back the human factor in this rapidly evolving, tech-heavy world. Because, let’s face it—none of us have it all figured out, and that’s exactly what makes the creative journey worth exploring.
Each week, I sit down with filmmakers, actors, entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives of all kinds to dive into their stories, challenges, and sometimes unexpected triumphs. Whether we’re talking about overcoming creative blocks, leading on set, or navigating the twists and turns of building something new, you’ll find that creativity is more than just making art—it’s about how we think, adapt, and grow in a world that’s constantly shifting.
And it’s not just about them. In solo episodes, I’ll share my own journey—the highs, the lows, and the “what was I thinking?” moments. Expect a blend of profound insights, practical advice, and a healthy dose of self-irony because, honestly, none of us have all the answers—and that’s perfectly fine.
What to Expect:
- Engaging conversations with actors, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders
- Personal stories and reflections on navigating the creative process
- Practical advice on how to stay human in an A.I.-driven world
- A blend of inspiration, professionalism, and light humor (because creativity is serious, but we don’t have to be all the time)
So, if you’re an actor, a filmmaker, a leader, or someone just looking to unlock your creative potential, join me on Beyond Creativity. Together, we’ll explore what it means to thrive—and laugh—our way through the creative process in today’s world.
