In this solo episode I think about what makes podcasts, films and writing work. Often times we oversimplify the recipe and end up creating content for the purpose of talking about ourselves rather than telling an interesting story. The best stuff is done by people who expose themselves to high-achievers and prolific creators rather than achieve a comfortable level and coast.
