I’m IN! Podcast by
Heather HodgesA podcast about unlocking your creative genius, one honest conversation at a time.
The Story Behind I’m IN!
Heather started I'm IN! because she kept noticing the same thing in her research and coaching work: almost nobody thinks they're creative, and almost everybody is wrong about that.
After years of studying how people actually solve problems, lead teams, and build a life they're proud of, she wanted a space to have real conversations about it. Not theory for theory's sake, but honest talk about what creative genius looks like at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
Every episode is Heather's invitation to say "I'm IN!" to your own creativity, your own leadership, and your own growth.
Whether you're a leader building an innovative culture, a professional seeking to rediscover your creative spark, or someone ready to stop hiding your gifts, this podcast is for you.
