- How to remix with integrity and intention
- How to trust your creative perspective
- Why your influences make your work stronger

Quote of the Week: "What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original... Every new idea is just a mashup or remix of one or more previous ideas.” - Austin Kleon (from his book, Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative)
