In this episode, Andy starts out by talking about a movie where a lone survivor Navy SEAL in Afghanistan was given help, protection, and sanctuary by the locals. He compares it with how we should protect our creative ideas and thoughts from our own self-criticism.

Listen in now and learn how to provide a safe sanctuary for your good ideas and thoughts and protect your creativity from your own ego.

Quotes:
