People will pay attention to, and they will judge things to be important if you tell them to pay attention, and if you tell them they are important. – Rich Harshaw

Create Great Stuff
Leaving the system behind and creating something of your own may actually be thing that gets you into the system, hopefully on your own terms.The point is, forget the gatekeepers. As far as I’m concerned, what you create in a 30-seat, hole-in-the-wall improv theater in Phoenix can be far more meaningful than a mediocre sitcom being half-watched by seven million people. America doesn’t need more stuff. We need more great stuff. You could make that.

Stop Calling Good work “Content”
This. This. 100% This:
“…we shouldn’t call creative work “content.” “Content” can be what’s inside a package, or other inanimate object, but should never been the name we give artistic and creative endeavors.”
YES!!! I hate how technology has made creative work “Technical”
Creativity is a Way of Life
Creativity isn’t a talent… It’s a mode of operating. (a Way of Life!)
