373 - How to Escape Your Creative Hero's Shadow & Forge A Deeply Satisfying Path
The best students I ever had really had a clear sense of their influences. In the old days really studying and imitating your masters was seen as an essential part of the creative path.
But what happens when you get stuck in this phase and can’t seem to break out into something that feels more truly yours? What do you do then?
In this episode we are going to explore exactly what to do when your creative hero’s are overshadowing your presence in your own work, and the fun and surprising solution to breaking out of this rut.
