Best Morning Motivator

In 2011, in the heyday of TedTalks, Alicia Waters Binkley was looking for a creative meeting group and stumbled upon CreativeMornings, an organization behind creative breakfast lecture series worldwide. But it wasn’t until 2014, with the help of Kristin Schleihs and Stephen Jones, that Binkley was able to get the Nashville chapter off the ground. Once a month, CreativeMornings takes a national topic — past subjects have been as diverse and broad as “change,” “climate” and “ink” — and pairs it with speakers from the Nashville creative community. Plus, there’s coffee and doughnuts. Speakers this year have included graphic designers, fashion experts, architects and much more. It’s a great way to gain some early-morning motivation — the motivation to go out and make cool shit. ELIZABETH JONES
