Reach out for feedback to actually improve (and expand yourself).
Feedback = growth.
On feedback: Prepare yourself mentally. It might hurt. But that feedback allows you to understand to iterate the next thing.
Meditation and journaling have helped Brian Koppelman
Brian describes getting harsh feedback as 12 hours of rage, denial (reminds me of ego death)
If someone is finished with a project, the best feedback you can typically give them is “Congrats for shipping.”
We all have a responsibility, if we can, to protect the feelings of those we’re interacting with. There’s a way to get your point across without being an asshole.
Momentum and inertia are counterforces
Great conversation on being stuck
It’s amazing how much more time you have than you think you have
Koppelman made a commitment that he was going to see this therapist once a week for a year. This commitment helped get him unstuck and made him all in on his journey
Why sharing your story is beneficial: other people will benefit from seeing you go through your creative process
