TKC 561 An Asynchronous Dialog w/ Austin Kleon

Author of Keep Going at Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver

Dialog starts at 5:33 and ends at 40:34

“So we all like to think that if we could just change our circumstances we’d be more creative. I could just move to Paris, rent a light-filled studio, maybe buy a beret, fall in with a gang of misfits.Then I could really paint my masterpiece. But we know this is wishful thinking, that everything we need to make our good work is here. We just have to pay more attention to it.”
