🌸 # WE'RE BORN CREATIVE. THEN, WE FORGET.
**TheTechMargin Podcast, Conversations on Creativity with Pia Mailhot-Leichter**
In this powerful episode, hosts and co-founders **Sonia and Chris**—artists and co-founders, [AICharmLab](https://www.aicharmlab.com)—welcome **Pia Mailhot-Leichter**, bestselling author, certified coach, creative partner, and entrepreneur who helps visionary rebels and unconventional dreamers bring their wild visions to life.
# # About This Episode
Pia shares her journey through *Welcome to the Creative Club*, a book that smashes the myth that creativity is reserved for the chosen few. Through raw stories from gritty New York nights, the ruins of marriage, and the unexpected clarity of a Trans-Siberian train ride, she reveals how we lose and find our creative power—and how to make life your biggest art project.
This conversation is for anyone who's felt stuck in someone else's story, silenced by self-doubt, or afraid they've lost their creativity.
Whether you're ready to fiercely pivot, wildly expand, crush 10-ton blocks, or step into your big, audacious dream, this episode offers both the permission and the roadmap to become the creative director of your own life.
# # About Pia Mailhot-Leichter
Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Her path has been anything but ordinary: a recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated *summa cm laude* from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world.
Now, as the founder of **Kollektiv Studio**, she's uniquely positioned to co-create wild visions and ventures with unconventional dreamers and doers.
She recently published ***Welcome to the Creative Club***, a book that challenges everything people thought they knew about creativity. Praised by Google's Global Head of Creative & Innovation as **"life-changing"** and by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson as **"a wild ride,"** this part-memoir, part-guide invites readers to make life their biggest art project and reclaim their creative power.
