Hi listeners, it's Reed. If you've ever felt stuck, if you can't get out of a rut or

over a hurdle, well, you're in good company. Every entrepreneur I've spoken to on Master's

scale has faced that moment at some point in their career. And so have most of the world's

greatest artists and creators. In fact, anyone who has ever tried to bring a bold, new

vision of life can probably relate. That's why I want to recommend another podcast that

will help you break out of the mold and cultivate a creative mindset. It's called Spark and Fire,
