October 21, 2021 Episode 16 - Creative Homage
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:

October 14, 2021 Episode 15 - Setting a Goal
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.
