In this episode of Creative Journeys, Dave and Melanie sit down with Bill Farley, archaeologist and Associate Professor at Southern Connecticut State University, for a conversation that digs deep into the unexpected intersections of creativity, research, and personal growth. Bill shares how his path shifted from music to anthropology, and how embracing detours, failures, and curiosity has helped shape his career.
They talk about the role of storytelling in archaeological work, what it means to follow your interests across disciplines, and why creativity isn’t limited to the arts. Whether he’s sifting through historical artifacts or writing about modern culture, Bill brings a thoughtful, honest perspective to the evolving nature of creative work.
This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty, making big changes, or simply trying to figure out what comes next on their own creative journey.
