Transcendence with Jack Moses

Creativity, Energy, & Polymathy (With Taylin Simmonds)

This episode of the Transcendence Podcast with Jack Moses [https://substack.com/@jackmoses0]and Taylin Simmonds [https://substack.com/@taylinsimmonds]explores creativity, energy, and identity through a deep conversation on neurodivergence, polymathy, and nervous system regulation. We unpack why true creativity emerges in cycles rather than rigid routines, how breathwork and rest unlock high-leverage output, and why many creators struggle when they try to force consistency instead of cultivating energy. We also reflect on the long-term arc of becoming a polymath, integrating diverse interests into a unified life mission, and how experiences like ayahuasca, mental health work, and spiritual practice reshape ambition from status-seeking into service, artistry, and embodied purpose.
