Show Notes:
Atticus, the two-time anonymous best-selling author has taken the world by storm with his beautiful poetry and his powerful themes of love and strength of the human spirit. He remains anonymous so he can “write from the shadows” and share from his heart without judgement. I went deep on asking him about this, wondering what it’s like to create like that, and how we can art from a place where we feel exposed.
Question Highlights:
-How did your environment feed who you are now?
-When did you discover that you had something worth putting down?
-How did your inspiration come through for you?
-How do you notice when you’re feeling stuck, and how do you get out of it?
