Staring down a blank page can feel like free-fall – yet writer and podcaster David Kadavy has turned that terror into fuel for bestselling books and a life of creative freedom.

In this episode he explains how a single sloppy blog post catapulted him from a cubicle in Nebraska to the cafés of Silicon Valley, and on to Medellín where he now writes, codes and records his hit show Love Your Work.

‘Motivational judo, fortress fallacies and typing before you open your eyes – press play to find the heart to start.’

David is the author of the Amazon-top-20 hit Design for Hackers and, more recently, The Heart to Start. Through his weekly podcast he interviews creators, entrepreneurs and scientists to uncover practical tactics for thriving in the idea economy. His own journey – from Apache-filled all-nighters in the Midwest to a location-independent writing life in Colombia – proves his methods in real time.
