The moment you begin, you realise how hard it is to make anything real (let alone good).For the past few months, I’ve been living inside that gap while creating the sound of this podcast.This episode is a reflection on why creating anything with love and integrity is so uncomfortable, the space between taste and ability, and why the pursuit is the point.We finish with the Masterpiece soundtrack, composed by Josie Mann, with strings by James Tarbotton.---You can email me on [email protected] me on IG hereSign up to my newsletter hereAnd order a One Word Journal hereI always love hearing from you :)JYK 🤍
