In This Interview, Aaron Anastasi and I Discuss:

The One You Feed parable
The limiting voices in our head
The "You don't have what it takes" voice
Instead of asking "Do I have what it takes" ask "Do I have the capacity to find the resources I need to be successful"
The fixed vs growth mindset, again
How the limiting voices often appear as reality
How inspiration and passion often arise while we are in action
Waiting on inspiration is a mistake and a misunderstanding of how it works
The importance of just getting started- the hardest part is right before we start
Breaking things down to very small chunks to help us get started
Recovering from pessimism
The old Hemmingway trick- Finishing while you still have one idea left
