As part of our International Book Month celebration, today’s episode draws inspiration from Neil Gaiman’s Make Good Art, a powerful reminder that mistakes are a natural part of the creative process. This month encourages us to celebrate literature that pushes us to take action, even when we feel uncertain. Gaiman’s message resonates with anyone who has ever hesitated to take a step forward out of fear of making mistakes.
Neil Gaiman, born in 1960, is an award-winning author known for his unique blend of fantasy, mythology, and dark humor. Make Good Art is based on a commencement speech Gaiman delivered in 2012, where he encouraged graduates to embrace the inevitable missteps on the path to creating something meaningful. Gaiman’s work emphasizes that mistakes are not failures, but rather opportunities for learning and growth.
In this episode, we explore the power of action and the importance of not letting the fear of mistakes hold us back. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their imperfections and to remember that every mistake brings us one step closer to success. By taking action, even when things aren’t perfect, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and growth. This episode offers practical advice on how to move forward in life and work, despite the fear of making mistakes.
