Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn''t, he has learned that being an artist isn''t about your specific output; it''s about your relationship to the world.
