Great piece on breaking out of that practical vs creative binary. The create first study later mindset is something I wish I'd internalized earlier, bc I spent way too many years convincing myself I needed to learn everything befre making anything.
So glad you enjoyed our conversation and thanks for the kind words, Rick! It was certainly very inspiring for me.
Also, I love “create first, study later.” It’s so easy to be caught in the preparation/research trap, but at some point you really do just have to “do the thing”.
Loved this article. Reminds me of a time at work (long story) what was obvious to me was baffling to others - put in time and sprinkle in curiosity, hard to go wrong. Good stuff
Biggest theme I felt in here was nonjudgemental action - spend less time thinking, more time doing, and see what ideas come along the way.
Well said.

In your defense, everyone does this and it’s reinforced everywhere

Thanks Michael. Glad to know it resonated.
This made me laugh and it very much resonated with my own experiences of stepping into creativity as a 'non-creative'! 🙂
Everything is an identity transition, isn't it?

Yes, I can relate...
Creativity is never rewarded prospectively.
