The Developing Life Podcast

Make Something Beautiful. Become Someone Brave | ft. Dave Zaboski

Davron Bowman | Heather Crank | Tru Adams Season 1 Episode 39

What if the future of creativity wasn’t about doing more, but becoming more?

Dave Zaboski—former Disney animator (The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Fantasia 2000), expedition artist, startup founder, and creative philosopher—joins The Developing Life for one of our most powerful episodes to date.

🔹 From painting for the Dalai Lama
 🔹 To sketching at 16,500 ft in search of a lost Incan temple
 🔹 To developing the Universal Laws of Creativity...

...Dave’s story is a masterclass in aligning imagination, risk, and purpose.

In this conversation we explore:

⚡ The difference between knowledge and wisdom in the age of AI
 ⚡ Why care is the missing element in artificial intelligence
⚡ The “Socratic Prompting” method that turns AI into a thinking partner—not a crutch
⚡ How to reclaim your narrative when speed and pressure try to define you
⚡ Why creativity isn’t just for artists—but for everyone turning thought into form

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to slow down, go deeper, and step fully into their role as a creator—with courage, clarity, and care.
