One of my most popular, widely shared, and (so I'm told) most impactful blog posts is one I did a few years back called "The 10 Things All Creatives (That's You) Must Know," a collection of hard-won lessons I've learned from my 20+ years in the trenches as a creator. And although it's a few years old I feel more confident than ever about the timeless value of these lessons -- and so this week on the podcast I'm bringing you an audio version of that blog post. Here's a sneak preview of what you can look forward to: * Experts aren’t the answer. * Clients cannot tell you what they need. * Don’t aim for ‘better’, aim for ‘different’. * Big challenges create the best work. * Aesthetic sensibilities actually matter. * Simple is good. * Make mistakes, learn quickly. * “Value” is different from “price.” * A-Gamers work with A-Gamers. * Real artists create.
