Gary Hirsch is an artist and co-founder of On Your Feet, which improves organizational dynamics and teaches business skills through principles of improv. He is also the driving force behind Botjoy, a project to spread joy and courage throughout the world with an army of hand-painted robots.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Gary shares great stories and insights that weave between the worlds of art and business, including:

• 
  
• how the principles of improv can improve the way that people interact in teams,
  
• a key lesson that has stuck with him that “sometimes you just have to play,”
  
• experimentation and being curious,
  
• embracing a creative process where someone else finishes the narrative,
  
• why he wants other people to “steal” his ideas,
  
• getting out of the way to allow your creation to flourish in unexpected ways, and
  
• learning to check ego, press the “pause” button, and be present in the moment.
