Retreating from the world to do the hard parts of creative work is one way to get the right focus. Toni McLellan wants to help you mentally sweat out those ideas in an inspiring, encouraging environment. Recorded live with video.
This week I made the first decision to reject an episode that I did with someone else. I've rejected plenty of my own episodes, but there's a little more consideration that needs to be taken when you've asked someone else for their time and opinion and ultimately don't use it.
At face value, the interview was perfectly fine, albeit slightly short. What felt wrong was the overall thesis of the interview. It felt off the mark in terms of what you might be interested in.
But later, I realized that *I really don't know who the hell you are or what you're truly interested in.*
I know you're interested in creativity and making cool things. Otherwise you wouldn't tune in. I know that you're most likely tech savvy since a lot of my guests are web workers. But how do you feel about branded social media? Do you absolutely hate sculptors? Do you really want me to spend most of my time talking about my hand sanitizer obsession? These are the things that I don't know but want to know very badly.
So, I'd love your help. I've created a [four-question survey]( surveymonkey.com/?s/?HGF8SN9 ) that will only take a minute or two for you to fill out. It will help me figure out who all of you are so that I can continue to make a better show that we all enjoy.
Yes, it's the digital strategist/marketer coming out in me and I can't help it. I get geeked out about data these days. [Won't you help satisfy my curiosity]( surveymonkey.com/?s/?HGF8SN9 )?
