In this episode I discuss how the freedom to work on whatever you want can be hard. You need creativity AND execution. Sometimes you can get too wrapped up the the creativity.

In this episode of What I'm Working On, I discuss how the launch of my latest course, "Dub Dub Grub" went and how that led to me being burnt out. I also discuss what I'm going to focus on for the rest of 2021 with CreatorView and how that wasn't an easy decision even though it's REALLY what I want to do. I give my thoughts on WWDC 2021 among many other topics.
