"The point is to aim towards perfectionism, it's not to actually reach it...why would anyone expect to be perfect at something they can't do and succeed straight away?"

- Osian Roberts

 

Settle in to this open, honest, sometimes funny, and often vulnerable conversation about living a creative life with Osian Roberts, saxophonist, composer and arranger, as we chat about his journey from visual art, to acting, to music -- and finding the point of it all, through success, failure, and the steps in between.

 

In this episode we talk about:

- the creative life

- challenges of perfectionism

- talent, skills and hard work

- Self learning

- fearing failure

- choosing the creative path you love vs the one you are naturally good at

- finding creative balance
