EPISODE 1

Season 4 is here! This season is going to be a lot more frequent and a lot more personal because I'm approaching my 50th year and I'm realizing that there's a lot that I want to at least document as part of my contribution to the larger conversation.

This very first episode is a love letter to the Black creatives specifically because that's who I think needs to hear this. And this is being sparked by a couple of things that have happened over the last two years, but really some major things that happened at the beginning of this year. You’ll also hear me share what my process looks like, and how my experiences and the experiences of others that I am really close to, really do kind of help understand the creative life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Perfect is the enemy of done.
  • Get an advisory committee–people you've given permission to hold you accountable, who are going to give you not only honest feedback but are going to give you the kind of support you're going to need to move forward.
  • Proof of Concept: Treat things as the experiments that they are, enjoy the process of creating and problem-solving from the place of ‘This is what I do’, as opposed to ‘This is what I have to prove.’
