13308: Logic vs. Magic

from The VOHeroes Podcast Hosted by David H. Lawrence XVII

Hey there, hero! No, I’m not talking about a famous court case with the title of this episode. It’s inspired by an audiobook I’m loving called Alchemy, read by the author, Ogilvy’s Rory Sutherland: https://amzn.to/3YVZlUO He’s done a terrific job of putting words to a concept that I’ve felt ever since I pivoted from the (mostly) logical world of tech to the (mostly) magical world of performance. So let’s talk about being at ease with uncertainty, how to be OK with the fact that very little of what you’ve chosen to pursue - whichever art that is, it’s art - is explainable by logic (or explainable at all). What does the uncertainty of our business do to your mental health? How anxious does it make you to not have any ability to count on a reliable process to get work? Let me know in the comments below.
