ADVICE

Do 100 Things

If you want to do something new, try doing 100 of them, even if they're not perfect.
This helps you learn if you enjoy it and improve your skills.

ANECDOTE

Pottery Class Analogy

A pottery class was split, one graded on one perfect pot, the other on quantity.
The best pot came from the quantity group, highlighting the value of iteration.

We made it to 100!

Corissa and Tom look back over the year and a bit of podcasting and talk about what they've learned, some anecdotes, and some highlight episodes from along the way. They talk about allowing something to unfold into what it's meant to be, rather than trying to force a specific framework or result.

Expect some of the usual themes: constraints, complexity, experimentation and psychology. And shout outs to Anna Brook, Louis Childs, Paul Tevis and all our lovely listeners.
