Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by stories that stretched the imagination... "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", "Lost in Space", "Star Trek", "The Matrix" and, of course, "Star Wars". Beneath their adventure and spectacle, these tales shared something timeless: the belief that curiosity and courage can transform the world.

It turns out, creativity behaves a lot like a muscle. Use it, and it grows. Ignore it, and it gets a little flabby. But the beautiful part? Even 15 minutes a day can rewire how you think, how you problem-solve, and how you see the world around you.

Input → Process → Output is a deceptively powerful model. It is a simple but effective way of depicting the chain of causality that describes, I think, all phenomena. Continuous improvement specialists rely on this model... our starting point for assessing the current state and informing the development of a future state, whether product or service. But what if we applied that same model to something even more profound: the development of human potential?

In 2022, more than 5 million people in Canada met the diagnostic criteria for a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder, with the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders increasing substantially over the previous 10 years.

From the moment we open our eyes to the world, curiosity pulls us forward. It’s not unique to humans — animals explore, prod, and investigate their environments.
