They're diving into why enthusiasm beats discipline every single time when it comes to sustaining your art, plus sharing gems from “The Artist’s Way,” their current book obsession, about treating work like play and finding your people.You'll get the real talk on creative U-turns, why visualizing success actually works (even if it feels a little woo-woo), and – here's the kicker – why asking for help isn't admitting defeat, it's being smart.
