Ep 8: Process & Product, part 2

In August we are spelunking through our creative input and output in a two part episode. In the previous episode, episode 7 we stumbled around in a dark creative cave, trying to figure out how to turn our creative flashlights on (creative flow), finding what what spotlight was best (quality), and which tunnel to follow (audience feedback). We started with the question: How do you know if you are moving forward and what does that even mean? And went wherever our creative pitch forks took us. 

In this episode we are following that damn light and find it, if I may say, illuminating. We find accountability metrics on the walls (blog newsletters), comfort in our cave companions (Co-Hosts) and take solace in the realization that just taking one step after another will get us somewhere (a finished product). Surely just standing in a corner of the cave is not going to get us anywhere so step, step, step we go.
