When you’re working on a new creative project and things start to get complicated and confusing, the most natural impulse is to turn around and start over. But my guest Peter Hastings says that your most brilliant simple creative ideas aren’t around that complicated stuff, but through it. If you’re stuck in a confusing moment in your creative career (which let’s face it, who isn’t these days?) I urge you to listen in. In this episode we dive deep into the creative wisdom of 6 time Emmy award winner Peter Hastings who has played key roles in producing some of the most beloved work of our generation. Ya ever heard of Pinky and the Brain? Animaniacs? How to Train Your Dragon? Kung Fu Panda? Captain Underpants?
