Down the Rabbit Hole: Finding Your Creative Voice

Down the Rabbit Hole: Finding Your Creative Voice

Author: Dan Hansen/RepcoLite Paints June 4, 2022 Duration: 39:29

Today's show is basically the presentation we gave on June 1 and 2 at the Sunnybrook Country Club in Grandville. It's a yearly event that RepcoLite hosts and Hailey and I called this one: Down the Rabbit Hole

SEGMENT 1: Meet Our Guides

In this first segment, we introduce you to the topic and also to our guides:

  • Elizabeth Gilbert
  • Frank Gehry
  • David Lynch

SEGMENT 2: Recognizing Fear

One of the key requirements to living creatively is learning to recognize fear.

SEGMENT 3: Being Curious

Another key trait of creative people is that they are constantly curious! Get out there, ask questions, stop "knowing" so much and be a detective!

SEGMENT 4: Taking Time to Daydream

A third train of creative people is that they take time to daydream . . . to let their mind rest . . . or to "play and experiment with reality."


Home In Progress is a weekly conversation hosted by Dan Hansen from RepcoLite Paints, born from the belief that a home is never truly finished. It’s a constant, often charming, series of projects and adjustments. This podcast digs into that reality, covering everything from choosing the right paint sheen and troubleshooting a stubborn plumbing issue to planning a garden layout or refreshing a room with a new design perspective. The tone is practical and approachable, blending useful advice with a genuine sense of humor about the inevitable mishaps that come with DIY. You’ll hear specific tips on materials and techniques, discussions on balancing aesthetics with function, and honest talk about what it really takes to maintain and improve your space. Each episode aims to leave you with a tangible takeaway, whether it’s the confidence to tackle a small repair or inspiration for a larger weekend project. It’s for anyone who views their home as a living project-a place of leisure, creativity, and continuous learning. Listen for a mix of straightforward education and relatable stories that make the process of caring for a house feel less like a chore and more like a rewarding part of life.
