Why is it important to learn how to say NO?

As Niklas Goke mentions, “The amateur tries to sync his art with inspiration. The pro knows that inspiration will sync with him once he sits down to write.”    In this week's #WhenWeMet Podcast episode we break some myths about how to maintain productivity as a creator.  Being an artist is not a robotic activity that we can churn out creativity 24/7 365 days, it is really about how we can use creativity as a muscle instead as a gift.   You can listen to this podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Hubhopper or any other podcast.
