351 - Afraid You'll Never Catch Up? Give Up Trying and Do This Instead
NFTs, 3D, AR, VR, YR. Oh you haven’t heard of YR?! Ya know, like YR are you googling what YR is. Is it because you’re curious or is it that you’re just afraid of being left behind? It’s very easy to be tempted to run your creative practice on FOBLB (Fear of Being Left Behind), but is this a renewable sustainable source of energy? Or will it leave you burnt out and depleted?
It is true that in order to reach your creative potential and remain on your creative path over a lifetime that you need to be a lifelong learner. But in this episode I want to show you that you don’t just need to be, you actually definitely WANT to be too!
If you’re overwhelmed by the pace of the world and tech’s evolution, this episode will help you find a cleaner fuel to run your creative practice on that will pep you to the max and help you push into new heights.
