Criticism is inevitable for creatives in any field because art is subjective. As creators, we have the choice: share our thoughts and expressions with the world— or do and say nothing.

In this episode, Michelle and Steve discuss some of the challenges that they’ve faced when it comes to being criticized. Steve shares his experiences in working with a creative team, and knowing when to fight your battles. Michelle realizes how much criticism has shaped her style, and recounts the ups and downs of being a design student.

The episode concludes with a lesson in moving forward, and why we should never be like Mike Brady.
