Episode 18, Forcing Creativity 

How do you deal with being creative on demand? Zane once had a job where he every week had to come up with a different spin for an ad for a local shoe store and it was driving him mad.

Episode 16, Paying Homage 

Paying homage in an artistic sense means acknowledging the inspiration or the influence on you.

We are all standing on the shoulders of giants who have become before us. But do you acknowledge that and should you even acknowledge it? Parody is mocking the things that have come before you, while homage honors the things that have come before you. 

We talk about:

Episode 15, Setting A Goal 

It is one thing to have a dream or epiphany of what you want to create. But it is an entirely different thing to get it done. There are a million ideas, but it all comes down to execution. How do you do it? 

Zane talks about collaborating and how it helps to have several partners to install accountability and be able to inspire each other when it becomes hard. 

Break the big project into smaller parts. Having too many projects is not healthy for yourself and everyone else.
