After a connectivity misfire, Scott and Keith start for good (3:30) with Scott's friendly 'productivity competition' with a studiomate and some feedback he got from Jim Lee and other artists (6:30).  Keith discusses positive confirmations along the way (17:35), getting feedback and truly exposing yourself to critique (20:50), and Keith's primary fear as a creator (26:30).  The two then talk how often we check our Kickstarters (28:00) before moving to a few mailbag questions from listener Gary Yap, starting with podcast recommendations (39:00) and influences (53:00).
