Summary

No one is coming to save you.

Experts are valuable when you’re learning new skills, but neither experts nor institutions are going to nurture you, guide you, or make your creative dream a reality. You’re on your own path. It’s all up to you.

In this episode we talk about the importance of taking control of your own learning and creative process. We explore the vast array of online learning resources available to help you develop the skills you need. Some key topics covered include:

The changing world of education
The value of self-directed learning
Free and low-cost online learning resources
Finding and joining communities to learn from others
Going from general to specific in your learning process
The importance of taking action and doing the work

Enjoy!

0:00.0	One thing is going to be clear by the end of this micro show episode, and that is going to be your awareness that no one is coming to save you.
0:17.3	This is the thing that you are sure to walk away from today's episode, knowing. And yet,
0:23.7	it's my goal to help you understand that in knowing that no one's coming to save you,
0:28.9	that you can in turn decide to save yourself. And you might be saying, so say myself from what,
0:35.0	Chase? The reality is that you are the answer to your
0:41.4	biggest questions, right? Experts out there in the world, they're very valuable when you're

1:47.5	from listening to this show over the last months and years, that you know you have this creativity
1:52.7	in you and it gives you the capacity to not only design the life you want, but to craft it and live
1:59.8	it as well. The world of education, as we know
2:02.9	it has radically changed. It's changed over the last 10 years, but also in the past 10 months.
2:09.2	It was never more true that you do not need an MFA to paint or to publish or to write plays, right? An MFA is a nice
2:20.3	degree to have, but it does not in itself make you a maker. The act of making, right, doing the
