“Is a better future. And when I say I really think we're only getting started, it's because the amount of ideas we have, what we can build and what we will build is pretty phenomenal.”

“Actually, I think Creative Mornings is just getting started. And I always try to explain it in a way that I want Creative Mornings to be an organization that no matter where you're at in your discovery of that you are a creative person, we have something to offer to you. I want Creative Mornings to either inspire you or help you find your people, help you find your community. Like I see Creative Mornings a bit as like church for creativity and as a friendship engine and an academy for living a heart-centered life there's just so many ways that Creative Mornings is helping people up level, helping people step into their fullest potential, making them realize they're safe.”

“Yes, I mean, the reason why I wanted to sell it really came out of the pandemic as well, because, I mean, like all of us, we probably had a bit of an introspection moment. And what became really clear to me is while I love Tadley and all the companies I've built, Creative Mornings is really my legacy and the closest to my personal values and what I believe in and something I, you know, I believe we need to leave the world a little better than we found it. And I think Creative Mornings is my contribution to that. And so I really wanted to be able to focus 100% on Creative Mornings. And before I wasn't, before I was, you know, sort of scattered all over the companies. And so now I'm 100% CEO of Creative Mornings.”

“You know, when you say it like that, or whenever people ask me about it, I mean, it sounds so silly. Like I did not wake up one day thinking, I want to run or redefine the temporary tattoo space, but I did. So we became, we very quickly became sort of the, you know, the high-end temporary tattoo brand. And then I kept running it up until last year. To be very honest, not knowing how to get off this carousel. Like that's one thing that I think a lot of founders do not talk about. You know, it's. It's easy. I mean, to me, it's easy to build a thing. It was much harder to get off the carousel. You sold.”

“Well, the basic idea was that my daughter will bring home these hideously designed temporary tattoos from birthday parties and they were an insult to my Swiss aesthetic. So I just, as a joke, said, I can make this better. And I asked my designer, illustrator. I actually talked about something I made and that I was selling, and that was a real moment when that printer started printing orders. And at the first day, we had about 150 orders come in from all over the world. I was like, okay, we're on to something here.”

“They came out of my co-working space, the original, they were both ideas that basically happened over lunch. And then, you know, my personal rule of like the best way to complain is to make things. I can't really stop myself. I really like to figure things out. So I kind of created them and then I had to maintain them. I don't know how to stop. So you started this temporary tetraview.”

“I mean, one of the things that we didn't mention, and I should mention, is that in the midst of starting Creative Mornings and how it kind of grew and expanded, you also created two other businesses. One is called to Do T-E-U-X-D-E-U-X to do, it's an app to the creats to-do list, and the other was you started a temporary tattoo company called Tatley. Were those, I mean, do you think those came out of these creative gatherings, these interactions, those ideas?”

“What I envision they will turn into is the world's more stratically generous peer-to-peer learning space. And I don't know if you've seen it on our site, but we have about 10,000 people show up every month for community-led workshops from how to do SEO to make pom-poms to stretching, to like you name it. We have about 20 events a month of which each one of them average has 450 signups. And also we had big tech companies come to us and say like, hey, can we do some organic field trips where people, we onboard them onto like we did this with Adobe Express with their software. And they're so not webinary. They're so grassroots and beautiful. And I'm starting to sort of see a business model emerge that is a literal win-win for everyone involved.”

“Yes, if it feeds back into the system. And if the money making itself is based on making the community better. And I can give you an example with what I mean with that. When the pandemic hit and we realized people are really hungry for connection, we obviously moved to online gatherings, which I would have never done before, ever because I believe in real connection happening in person. It was a real moment of realizing I had blinders on. So we moved our chapter events to Zoom and very quickly realized how we can translate the magic of creative mornings to actually online events. But we also moved something that we called and we were experimenting with here mostly in New York, which were called field trips, small community-led workshops. We moved those to Zoom too, and they have been growing massively. It's basically.”

“And so the way I've been able to run this for the last 15 years is because we had what we call partners like MailChimp. And they were basically mostly big tech companies like Basecamp, Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Adobe, giving us a slice of their marketing or brand budget and supporting us. What is really interesting, what is happening now, and this is also one of the reasons why I became a full-time CEO just recently is that just the landscape of that business model is changing. And we're trying to figure out sort of, I believe that the future of Creative Mornings is community-led and community supported. So we're trying to sort of shift the business model into what creative mornings actually always should have been.”

“Well, thanks to the support companies like MailChimp, who, by the way, is insane. They have been our supporter for 14 and a half years straight. Wow. Anyone who does partnerships probably goes, what the heck right now? Because that is unheard of.”

“But when you create an invitation that is just so generous, and then when you come to events, you're basically wrapped in a blanket of love. People are so upbeat. People are so nice. You leave that space going, how can I contribute? How can I be part of this? How can I, you know, like it's an invitation to contribute? And I really think that's the magic sauce of Creative Born Excellence.”

“Yeah, he's wonderful. I met him at a very tiny conference I was invited to speak at and he was sitting in the audience and he afterwards came up to me and said, do you mind me telling you why what you do works? And I love nothing more than people reflecting back to me in their own words what I'm doing because I'm so in the sauce and it's just so intuitive what I do that sometimes I'm like, I don't have the words for it. And so I was like, yes, please. And he said, you know, what you're doing is based on non-transactional giving. You're inviting people in to your space. But if you were to sell a ticket, then it's a transaction. You buy it a ticket. You expect a good coffee and a breakfast and the talk. And if it's not good, you know, like, and then it's done. The transaction is over.”

“Yeah, I mean, radical generosity is our business model. You know, and you couldn't pay a PR company to help us get to this reach. But when you have so many people. Invested and they're poured their hearts into it that is unmatched. It's just unmatched, the energy. And also the one thing that I was lucky enough that Bill Uri, who wrote the book, Getting to Yes, he once.”

“No, it's completely free. I mean, to be honest, the fact that we exist the way we do in the sheer size globally. Is a miracle. I mean, we are a nine people team running a global organization on an extreme. But that is possible because the power is in the collective, you know”

“It's completely open. For me, what it just needs to be is like it needs to be hope-inducing, it needs to be inspiring, I really don't care. And if I'm really honest guy, I don't care about the talk that much. I edit the talk because I didn't want people to feel like they're in a networking event. But where my heart really opens is the half an hour when we have breakfast, when people start talking to each other. The minutes of audience engagement that we like we have learned from our chapters around the world how to engage the community. Like there's things that we have integrated into our events now before the talk and after the talk that make people talk to each other or get to know each other. If I'm really honest, I believe we're in the business of connection. And not in the business of talks. Ted does that really well.”

“Yeah, everything is free. Yeah, do you have rents have to be free? So we basically told people you have to organize a local volunteer team. You have to organize your group. You have to get them excited. You know, some, I would say a host invests probably about 40 hours a month into putting on the events. Yeah. But I also was very quickly able to articulate in saying, this will make you so visible within your city, it will make you a leader in the creative community. You will be seen as someone, you know, who gathers the creative community. And it really attracted the people that just saw the currency in that.”

“Well, basically, we told them what the non-negotiables are. If you want to become the ambassador, the host of a chapter in your city and there's only one per city, you have to commit to putting on an event once a month in the morning for free. You have to find sponsors to make it happen. You have to tape the talk. You have to upload the talk.”

“I never really worried that much about it, to be honest. What I realized is that I needed help. I am good with system to a certain extent, but then I kind of am not good at maintaining them. So I needed someone to really think through the processes of what this means. So I was very lucky to get introduced to this really smart young man. And I hired him part-time. And I literally just set him down at the co-working space and said, like, hey, here's an inbox full of emails of people wanting things from us or wanting to collaborate or starting a chapter. Can you figure out systems? And he was just incredible. And he helped me Systemize what creative mornings is and how we work from four chapters to 111. He was incredible.”

“But then I also realized that I'm a big believer in trust breeds magic, that trust is the biggest complement of all. And if you set people up right and obviously do your homework, the people that ask me originally, I just knew they were really good people. Also, what I've learned over the years is that these were people that were in service of community. There's type of humans that are just showing up like that. And so... In the end of the day, I leaned into the discomfort of it. I'm also sometimes someone who just closes my eyes and says, like, I hope it's going to go okay. Denial is a good thing.”

“Well, to be very honest, I was super scared. I was very scared, but I also know that when I'm scared, that's when I need to really pay attention because that's where the growth happens. And I had to ask myself, what are you scared of, Tina? And what I realized is that. What I have created was so deeply personal. It's a real extension of my values, of how I want to live my life. I believe in living a very generous life. I believe in gathering humans. And so to me, it was like, what if people don't keep that spirit alive? What if it becomes an event that doesn't feel good? So I was afraid it would reflect badly on me.”

“Yeah, the second time I brought it to Zurich, this young man, Daniel Fry, he basically cornered me with the whole team. And he says, like, we're not going to let you go until you tell us that we can bring this to Zurich. And I mean, he said it very kindly. And I was like, okay, so lean into this. And my gut just told me like, Tina, figure it out. Figure it out what it would mean to let people run this and sort of create the container for it that it's protected yet free, sort of asking myself, what are the non-negotiables? What do I need to tell someone that they keep the spirit of it alive, but yet I give them enough freedom to put their own stamp on it?”

“Oh my god. And I reached out to them, to the founders, like, hey, do you want to speak or do you want to host us? And man, they hosted us in their factory. It was the coolest thing. And we just, yeah, we did it. I mean, it was just me. I remember flying in with my kids. And I was like, look at this. You can be so scrappy in putting on events. Like that's what I want the world to know. Like, don't overthink it. You know, scrappy is where it's at.”

“And so the talks were mostly design centric. And I just, you know, I think I just had an antenna out like who would have something interesting for this community to share, period, to the point where I remember when I thought I have to stop running it when I was pregnant with my son in 2010. And I thought I'm going to go out with a bang and I'm going to ask my dream speaker. I never forget when I walked up to Michael Berut of Pentagram at this event. And I said, Michael, I'm Tina. I run Creative Mornings. Would you give a talk in January? And he just said yes And then he gave such an incredible talk that I figured that's the universe telling me I can't stop, so I didn't stop.”

“I was reaching out to people, but I have to admit, man, I look back now and I kind of cringe at my curation a little bit. That's fine. But I guess this is where the seagrows are. Yeah, this is where we see growth. Well, I was just, in the beginning, it was extremely design heavy, of course, to speakers because I was still running a design studio.”

“No, see, that's the beauty I then got connected to who at the time was the head of marketing, who's still there and is still involved in a lot of things at MailChimp. So I was connected to him and I was like fully prepared to hang banners and do ads and whatever. And he goes, Tina, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like I'm going to send you some t-shirts and some monkeys. Let's make this fun. Wow. And just from out of the gates.”

And then me telling them, hey, you are going to get, I don't know, 100, 150 people's attention, their time, what are you giving to them? What gift are you unfolding for them on stage?”

“Yes, it was a really interesting project. But I think the magic that I started realizing that was unfolding is people really loved seeing into other work environments. So the first few years we were hosted at agencies, design studios, or even within six months, we were hosted at Google, which really to me was an indicator, okay, there's something happening here. If Google invites us in.”

“Well, you know, the beauty of being a trained designer is that I think in a prototype-y mindset, and I will never take this for granted because oftentimes when I work with people that did not sort of come out of a creative space, they always think that they have to create something and it needs to be perfect. So to me it was totally fine. I was like, okay, here's the things we can improve. And to me, it was clear that I'm going to keep going and keep prototyping and keep chiseling away at it. And so I just kept gathering humans every month. It was such a simple concept. Once a month, breakfast and a talk.”

And there was no talk, which I realized made a very networky. I don't know. I don't think it was magical, but... People were excited together. I think whenever there's a pure intention in gathering humans, people are somewhat buzzing.”

“Like, where are they? Where do I find them? And my salary was so low, I could not afford industry events. So it's also kind of like I wanted to build the community I wish existed when I first moved to New York. And so it was a bit of a combo of hunches. And that's how the idea for Creative Morning started.”

“Well, so as I started seeing just a magic that unfolded by gathering these creative heart-centered humans in my co-working space, I realized just how much that puts fuel into my personal chatpack, like just human connection is what makes me thrive. You know, my desk was literally on the East River looking at Manhattan and, you know, in moments where my heart was bursting out of my chest because what we created was so magical and so beautiful. I kept thinking there's so many more out there. And so I became, I call myself a human gatherer at heart. And I was like, I want to gather them all. I want to create an opportunity that we can, you know, open up the circle and also just to backtrack for a second, when I moved here in 1999, I literally did not know one soul here in New York. I was really wondering where my people were.”

This is before people worked from home. Exactly. This is what you did. You were pre-work from home long before everyone else cut on. But you were sort of thinking, hey, there are other people like me, creative people, they work from home. They're not interacting with other people like me. An office space to kind of throw ideas around. Let's do something. And this was the idea.”

“Well, actually, the big thing that happened was in 2006 or 2006. And I had some weird introspective moment going on with an angelic choir coming down of saying, hey, Tina, it's time to start your company. So I started my design studio when my daughter was born. And then through that, I intuitively wanted to create a space for people like me so they are not alone at home. And this is before co-working spaces were a thing. I just had a hunch that there's people like me out there who are creative, who are entrepreneurial, who are, you know, sort of believe in living a creative life and who want to surround it themselves with kind and heart center people. And so I built the space and I said”
