Creativity doesn’t always show up where you expect it. In this episode of Adam Torres: Inside My Mind, Adam shares how slowing down revealed creativity in places most people would overlook.

From years of interviewing thousands of guests to rediscovering ideas hidden in a simple spreadsheet, this episode explores how creativity, mastery, and self-expression evolve over time.

In this solo episode, Adam reflects on:

• How creativity can emerge through experience and repetition
• Why many people are more creative than they realize
• How technology and new mediums have lowered the barriers to self-expression
• Why creativity isn’t limited to artists, musicians, or traditional “creative” roles
• How slowing down can unlock deeper insight and better decisions

Adam also shares why creative expression matters now more than ever—and how it can connect us, especially during times of disagreement or change.

In this episode of Adam Torres: Inside My Mind, I explore why relationships still matter in the AI age, even as artificial intelligence and technology continue to accelerate across business and society.
As AI reshapes how we work, build companies, and make decisions, this episode focuses on the fundamentals — trust, integrity, and long-term relationships — that technology can’t replace.

It feels like everything right now is about AI, speed, efficiency, and automation. But as technology moves faster, I’ve been thinking more about the basics that often get overlooked.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why human relationships compound over time
• Lessons from my early career in finance and wealth management
• How long-term trust quietly creates opportunity
• Why efficiency gained from AI should be reinvested into people

This isn’t anti-technology — I use AI every day.
It’s a reminder that as AI and automation increase productivity, relationships remain one of the most valuable advantages in business and life.

On Christmas Day, a scheduled podcast interview almost didn’t happen. What followed became a quiet reminder about connection, loss, and the importance of showing up—especially when it would be easier not to. In this episode, I reflect on that moment and what it brought back from earlier experiences, conversations, and seasons of life that still stay with me.
