Let's get weird

from MegaMaker · host Justin Jackson

The biggest risk to creative work is curated perfectionism. It's happening in music, art, film, and on the web. Everyone wants a flawless portfolio and will only publish perfect work. The challenge is that perfectionism can be restrictive. It can hold us back from experimenting, or putting out more work. To make better stuff, we're going to need to get weird. In this episode Justin talks about texting 150 strangers, and reveals how they replied.
