The Illusion of Perfection
In our creative journeys and in life, we often find ourselves waiting for the perfect moment, idea, or plan before we start sharing our thoughts, work, and dreams with others. But the truth is perfection is an illusion that stops us from expressing our creativity and connecting with others.
Playing Out Loud
I want to share with you a concept close to my heart: Playing Out Loud. It's part of my creative life framework, which includes five key points:
Power Up!
Make Cool Things Every Day!

Playing Out Loud is about:
- Sharing your creativity, message, and story with the world, even when things aren't perfect.
- Learning in public and growing through the process.
- Embracing the beauty of imperfection.
The Power of Sharing
When we share our creativity, ideas, and work, we:
- Open ourselves up to feedback and collaboration.
- Learn more about ourselves, our craft, and our audience.
- Create opportunities for growth, innovation, and connection.
- Build trust and authority in our field.
- Inspire others with our creative journey.
My New Creative Adventure

And much more!
Writing in Public: A Journey Shared
I'm writing this book in public, sharing my process, insights, and challenges along the way. It's my way of Playing Out Loud, of writing in public, and I invite you to join me on this journey.
