Creative Compass Series 1

The Five Stages of Creativity

with Dan Millman and his daughter Sierra Prasada

It is my privilege and opportunity to interview this father and daughter author team, and to present business, writing, and personal wisdom from across a generation.

With 13 books and a major motion picture under his belt, Dan has been bringing personal transformation to people via the power of the pen, and now he and his daughter Sierra are passing that skill on in their new book, The Creative Compass.

Dan and Sierra discuss language, writing, being an insider and outsider, fiction vs. non-fiction, story telling, the five stages of creativity, getting feedback, and what makes a best seller. MP3

Let’s take this opportunity to get up close and personal, behind the scenes with Dan and Sierra.

  1. Hi Cindy,
    Just listened to this interview and WOW what a lovely connection you have with Dan and Sierra and although I am not interested in writing a book, I am sure some of your listeners are, and this book sounds paramount in how to go about writing a book.
    Thanks Cindy
