008: Your Creative Legacy


Listen Later

Recently, on my birthday, I got to see the excellent documentary on the life, work, and yes, legacy of Fred Rogers, Won’t You Be My Neighbor.  It left me at once thoughtful and energized; moved and inspired.

See, I think about legacy a lot. Especially as a childless creator.

This episode is all about creating a creative legacy: what that means, how it’s done, and how much control we really have over it at all.

It’s one of those episodes where I get pretty excited. The feet are on the soapbox! But all in the spirit of sharing my own excitement and conviction.
