For artists, there is no wasted time
In this episode, we talk about how everything you have experienced has brought you to where you are now.
Your past isn’t history. It’s still part of you today, and that means you can still learn and grow from it.
And, of course, as artists, it means we can draw from our experiences to create meaningful work.
We can honestly say that so much “lined up” in this episode, and yet we feel that we could have said so much more! Maybe, one day, we will—because our past will have prepared us for it!
