Episode notes

"I feel like the problem that most creatives have is, is not Dunning-Kruger. I feel like most people who are actually good at what they do suffer from not understanding or not being able to see how good, good they are," he says. "We don't have that self-awareness to know that maybe we're really good at other things... We're just not good at this thing."

Denise Jacobs teaches us how to banish our inner critic. She motivates us to realize what we’re capable of creatively. She encourages us to overcome the fear of the unknown by turning that fear into curiosity. She also guides us into how to ask for feedback in a way that’s healthy and beneficial to us.
