Create for No Reason

Do you have Creative Courage? What does that even mean to you? Kate believes it means making a bold decision about the direction of your work. To do that, you have to believe in your ideas enough to move forward and not look back. To not question if your choice was right or wrong. To not allow other people’s opinions to persuade you to go a different direction. It's in the videos you choose to make, the opinion article you decide to write, or a strategic decision about your business. Creative Courage is the topic of this week's episode.
