I share some of my personal experiences in letting old projects go until I found the story that made me say “…and it’s gonna be awesome!” Afterwards I share a few thoughts on the importance of taking on tons of small projects until you find that awesome story.

Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / / ,

In the first episode of my new microcast, I share a few thoughts about letting a creative project become what it wants to be.
