#38: Creativity as a Survival Skill

In this episode, Filipe Alverca, a Brazilian Portuguese translator, reviewer, and transcreator, digs deep into the topic of creativity.

After hearing his presentation at this year's BP Conference (a translation-focused event), I knew I had to invite him to the podcast!

Filipe shares practical tips for nurturing creativity, such as changing environments, engaging in physical activity, and writing without restrictions. He also talks about how creativity can be applied in various industries, the importance of consuming diverse content, and its role in problem-solving.

In this conversation, we both challenge the notion that creativity is limited to artistic pursuits and emphasize the need for creativity in the future job market. The most important thing is to be open-minded and embrace creativity as a skill for survival in the labor market.
