Good Morning.

We’re halfway through the week. Some see it as a slump, but maybe it’s the perfect time to rethink, remix, and see things from a new perspective.

Some great ideas seem to come out of nowhere, but many are built on something that came before. Shakespeare reworked old legends. Steve Jobs borrowed from calligraphy to reinvent tech. Every masterpiece has a lineage.

Today, we’re exploring The Remix Rule: how some of the most brilliant ideas come from transforming what already exists. The real creative magic happens when you take inspiration, shape it in your own way, and turn it into something unmistakably yours.

The Remix Rule: How to Borrow Like a Genius and Make It Your Own

Creativity isn’t always about starting from scratch. Some ideas are born from pure originality, but many of the world’s most brilliant works are inspired by what came before. Musicians reimagine old songs into new hits. Chefs take classic dishes and reinvent them with unexpected flavors. Writers borrow from history and spin it into modern storytelling.

What if, instead of feeling the need to create something completely original, in art, work, or daily life, you experimented with remixing ideas in a way that only you could?

How Some of the Best Creators Remix Their Way to Genius

Music has long been shaped by reinterpretation. Some of the most iconic songs in history are built on samples, inspirations, and unexpected blends of genres. In food, fusion dishes like sushi burritos and Korean tacos exist because someone thought, What if I combined these two things that don’t normally go together?

Storytelling has always been a remix of what came before. Shakespeare borrowed plots from history, myth, and earlier plays, reshaping them into his own masterpieces. Tarantino draws from spaghetti Westerns and vintage crime films. Even modern rom-coms often echo classic literature like Pride and Prejudice.

The same concept applies to design. The best spaces blend styles. Minimalist Japanese design meets warm Scandinavian textures. Vintage pieces find new life in modern settings.

How to Use The Remix Rule in Everyday Life

1. Look for Unexpected Pairings – Think of two different interests, skills, or ideas. What happens when you combine them? What if jazz improvisation inspired creative brainstorming? What if a poet’s use of metaphor enhanced business communication?

2. Change the Context – What works in one field can inspire something new in another. The Michelin Guide started as a marketing tool for tires. Stand-up comedians borrow storytelling techniques from novelists.

3. Flip the Format – Take something familiar and approach it in a new way. What if a documentary unfolded like a mystery novel? What if a recipe read like a love letter? What if a brainstorming session was structured like a game?

Creativity Doesn’t Have to Start with a Blank Slate

There’s value in creating from scratch, but there’s also power in seeing what exists and shaping it into something uniquely yours. The next time you feel stuck, don’t stare at a blank page. Take inspiration from unexpected places, twist it, reshape it, and make it your own.

So… what’s the last thing you remixed in your life? A recipe? A playlist? An idea? What’s something you’d love to reinvent in a way that feels uniquely yours?
