Getting Too Good for Your Own Ideas

from Keep the Flow

The better I got at my craft, the less I actually created. Sounds backwards, right? In this episode, I share how improving our skills can paradoxically make us more hesitant, more critical, and less willing to experiment. Drawing from my own journey from coffee drinker to coffee snob, I explore why creative growth sometimes means hitting the record button less often—and why that's a problem we need to fix. If you've ever felt like you're too good for your own ideas, this one's for you.Jake Frew's video: https://youtu.be/DFirZ54qLbs?si=nKtKkCyTzvGjQlemCheck out my music: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/Join the Patreon community: https://patreon.com/scottmclemore Hosted on Acast.
