I Tried to Record This Episode Seven Times Last Week and Deleted All of It. Here's Why That Matters.

Last week there was no episode. Not because nothing was recorded — Robbie sat down every single day, got five or ten minutes in, and deleted it. Every time. Because it wasn't right. Wasn't perfect. Didn't sound the way he'd imagined it. Until he realized that the inability to get out of his own way was the episode.This is one of the most honest episodes in the TUF catalog — about the vulnerability that goes into doing something creative in public, the specific fear of being seen as an "influencer" when you hate influencers, and why a first-grade music teacher telling him he couldn't sing might still be affecting the way he shows up today.Topics covered: what perfectionism actually looks like when it's blocking your creative output, why vulnerability is harder for people who pride themselves on not caring what others think, the Enneagram 8 problem of simultaneously projecting confidence and being terrified of being seen, what Robbie wants his kids to learn from watching him do something hard in public, and why the courage to try imperfectly is more valuable than the ability to do it perfectly.Send a message about the episode!
