In this episode, Erin sits down with author, researcher, and keynote speaker Sheri Jacobs, whose new book The Unexpected Power of Boundaries flips the traditional idea of creativity on its head.

Sheri argues that innovation doesn't thrive in limitless freedom, it thrives inside clear constraints.

From playground fences to corporate experiments, from polar bears in the Arctic to the diagnosis that changed her life, Sheri shares powerful stories that prove boundaries aren't barriers, they're catalysts.

Here's what you'll hear:

1.) How boundaries don't limit creativity, they unleash it

2.) Why "Risk tolerance" is overrated and what you need to focus on instead

3.) The "Best New Mistake" award mindset

4.) How constraints spark innovation

5.) Why boundaries can be life-saving
