Make Create Build

How on earth do we start this? How do you start a project? We’ve got lots of reasons why we don’t start: Is it good enough? Is it even worth me doing? Who wants to hear from me? Do I have something worthy to say? What is it that I’m going to contribute that’s different and creative and thoughtful?

We put up barriers and get stuck and spin. Where do you find yourself struggling when it comes to starting a project?

You can overcome the resistance. Let’s dig deep, explore, learn, and grow as we lean into uncomfortable growth together. 

Brené Brown,  Seth Godin, Steven Pressfield, Simon Sinek, and James Victore are mentioned in the episode. Their work has been instrumental for us as we learn and grow. There are many more, and we are sure to mention them in future episodes.  Laura finds my copy of James Victore’s Feck Perfuction amongst my books and we go into a bit of an impromptu book club. Do you ever do that? Grab a random book, open to a random page, and see what the universe has to offer? 

We started. Episode 1 (Recorded way back on 4/8/2023)

When you’re In Residence as an artist, a writer, a musician, a leader–you’re digging deep and tapping into your creativity. Learning and practicing and honing your craft. Creating teams, building relationships and culture, connecting ideas that may not be clearly connected.

We see In Residence doing that via conversation.

Let’s dig deep, explore, learn, and grow as we lean into uncomfortable growth together. 

Hi! We are Keith and Laura. We are creatives and makers at heart and looking to make change, for ourselves and people like us who want to dig a little deeper. 

Join us as we push through uncomfortable growth on our way to make a difference.

New things are brewing, churning.

Some times, you need to fix the kitchen sink, or the dishwasher, or the garbage disposal. Research, find the correct part, the right part, the tools, the right tools. Other times, we simply show up and get the work done.

People like us, do things like this.

Time in the game is more important than the outcome of the game.
Which game do you want to play? How will you choose to proceed?

Make the choice.
Continue to show up.
Keep the streak going.

Chop the wood, carry the water.
The practice is the point.
Do the work.

Sunk costs, gifts–depends on your mindset.
