Who Makes You More Creative?

I’ve been having a tough time writing this week and just have not been feeling extraordinarily creative. Sometimes, all you need is a beer and some conversation with a good friend to pull you out of that rut.

I just got back from a happy hour with Mike where we spent a lot of time discussing ideas for a proposal we’re working on together. The ideas were flowing and I’m really excited about what we came up with.

Tonight just reminded me how important it is to surround yourself with motivated, creative and fun people. So, to my question. Who makes you more creative? Who challenges you to come up with better ideas? Surround yourself with more people like that. Or instead, spend more time with the creative people you already know.
