Highlights

Two Extremes of Creative Courage
The courage to create comes from either having nothing to lose or from such deep knowledge that you are unshakeable.
When you've spent decades mastering a domain, you become immune to embarrassment and can be yourself on camera.

Editorial

Build Conviction Before You Press Record
You don't need a perfect product; you need certainty in your knowledge before you start creating.
