Steven Pressfield on Overcoming Resistance as an Author, Putting Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be, and Why the Bigger the Dream, the Bigger the Resistance (Replay)

On today’s episode Steven Pressfield shares the power of resistance and how creatives can overcome self-doubt. Listen in as Steven and I discuss the barriers we create for ourselves by giving into resistance, the excavating process of writing, and how continuing to write after success is an ongoing process of following your own compass.
