Notable Quotes
“Anxiety about money can cause our creativity to contract like water when the temperature drops. We really have to fight harder to open up that creativity, to expand it, and think, “Maybe this is an opportunity to go after a dream client."
"Share what you’re building online. Give the play-by-play. Invite people into the mess. Show the work while the sawdust is still on it.”
