Hiya! Emily again. Episode three. Fear of screwing up.

Back in November when we recorded these first few episodes, I was so excited about the vision for this project that I would often go home and edit our long conversations down to a rough-cut episode just a day or two after recording. It became a ritual for Dan and I to sit around a laptop and listen to it together the next time we met and discuss (or, more often, vehemently disagree about) what was interesting and what needed to be cut. When we listened to this episode I remember he gave me a really skeptical look and said "Do you really think this is going to resonate with anyone?" -- In response to which I INSISTED that this episode was the best one yet.

I still believe it is. Let me know what you think.

BTW -- if you're not following us on Instagram, check us out: @unexpectedmentorpod (I mostly just post silly little video clips of me and Dan arguing)

That's all. Hope you love it. Hope you go make something cool. Hope we can all get a little braver and push through how scary it is to make that thing we NEED to make.

Love you. See you next Thursday.
