Exploring Your Creative Genius: Episode 126
There’s something electric about entrepreneurs who build businesses born from personal struggle. They don’t just understand the problem — they’ve lived it, cursed it, and finally cracked it.
That’s the story behind today’s guest. As a Black man Charles Johnson had battled razor bumps for years; he didn’t just stumble on a solution, he created his own. When a friend tried it and said, “Wow, this really works!”, that was the spark. Now, Charles has turned his fix into a business, not because he studied the market, but because he was the market.
Isn’t it a beautiful thing, when frustration becomes innovation? And that’s where the best ideas start—not in research, but in real life.
“Exploring Your Creative Genius” takes an expansive view on what it means to be creative and entrepreneurial in an ongoing conversation led by Carl Nordgren — entrepreneur, novelist, and lifelong student with decades of experience growing his own creative capacity and assisting others to do the same in exciting new ways!
