The Healing And Transformational Impact Of Awe Episode:82
<p>In this episode of The Leader U Podcast, Angie Lion, co-owner of Black River Performance Management, has a soul-filled conversation with Corvas Brinkerhoff. He shares his inspiring journey from co-creating the collaborative art collective Meow Wolf to creating Submersive, a transformative and therapeutic immersive art bath house.</p> <p>Corvas shares the evolution of his leadership philosophy, highlighting the importance of humility, active listening, and trusting intuition as he transitions from collaborative projects to solo entrepreneurship. He discusses the healing power of immersive experiences, weaving together insights from neuroscience, the power of awe, and the potential for art and technology to foster personal growth. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersections of art, leadership, and human transformation.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Corvas Brinkerhoff is an artist, leader, and experience designer. His medium is collaboration. Corvas' passion is to create the worlds most beautiful, imaginative, and powerful immersive experiences. His creative practice is centered around vision, team building, and strategic thinking. He is also well versed in immersive tech and interactivity, storytelling, and the creation of large scale art installations. Corvas' role as SVP of Experience Design at Meow Wolf emerged over 13 years of creative exploration at the nexus of art, story, and technology, steering our immersive experiences towards dynamic, media-rich, interactive environments. As Executive Creative Director of Meow Wolf Las Vegas, it's his responsibility to set the creative vision, and build and synchronize his teams around that vision. In that capacity Corvas plays the role of project leader, curator, experience designer, and artist. He seeks to empower and amplify the work of the artists I collaborate with. He believes that great ideas can come from anywhere and that we do our best work when we have well designed boundaries and the freedom to explore our creative instincts. Corvas builds teams of self-actualized individuals who are more knowledgeable and talented than me, offering a structure that supports the expression of their creative genius.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Check out Our Links:</p> <p><br></p> <p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brpm/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leaderublackriver/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555162806549</p> <p><br></p> <p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angielion_leaderuPodcast </p> <p><br></p> <p>Website: https://blackriverpm.com</p>
