The best advice you'll ever get anybody listen this i can't tell you how important this is and it's something a lot of you have to learn. The muse is attracted to the sound of the keyboard as they say so the the also this other thing yeah you have to have input I have been stuck so many times i can tell you just from recently finishing a book that i was stuck soMany times and i would sit down and write like plans of action and and do the thing that i think you see in movies and tv shows where somebody just sits in a darkened room and stares at the ceiling until they get a good idea or are they stared at street lamp while smoking a cigarette

In this episode we sit down with Jeremy Utley of the Stanford d.school to discuss his new book, Ideaflow, which is all about how to create a practice for producing and trading ideas in massive quantities – whether in an organization or as an individual entrepreneur or content-creator – along with a system for sorting the garbage from the gold. We discuss, among many other things, why it is important to focus on input more than output, how to stop obsessing over quality while generating quantity, and peanut butter pumps.
