Or how do I show up in service of the work? Written and Produced by Matthew C. TempleEdited by Tyen MusaOriginal Theme Music by...

Good | Tapping Creativity Ep9Do you ever doubt you're doing anything since you have nothing to show for your efforts.

But something that you can involve a broader community in?I've had to ask myself these questions. Can I find people who are a little bit better than me or peers, mostly who trust me enough to be able to come and say, 'I'm gonna be totally honest with you about this thing.' They could be off the wall. I've got another friend who is ADD and has no patience. And so I he'll be like, 'This script is boring. I didn't get t...
