Closed/Open (by Seth Godin)
Why is better so elusive for some people? That’s the question Seth Godin explores in this short, brilliant post. Reading time: <1 minute. Impact: massive.
Book
How to Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back (by Jeff Tweedy)
I wore out my highlighter reading this one (and then I listened to the audio version, read by the author). Jeff Tweedy a singer/songwriter who leads the band Wilco. This book is all about how to create with greater consistency and confidence and how to release your work. Yes, it’s about songwriter, but really it’s not. It’s about writing, drawing, business-building, product development, etc. All of us are creators. And this book will help you create.
Resources / Tools
Loom (video messaging)
I use Loom almost every day — to create quick video messages for emails. I use it mostly to send video thank you notes (so much more impactful than written messages). But Loom can do so much more.

Words to Ponder
❝If the student is unwilling to become open, afraid to let go of what they’re holding on to, then better is going to be elusive.❞
