A soliloquy of audacity for my beloved creatives. Shoot your shot because you can and figure out the details of the how in confidence later. Inspired by a question in the IG story streets. How do you keep going when the opportunities don't always come through? I am also considering forgoing seasons and doing episodes as they come to me. So far it seems to be monthly. This is episode 112 y'all. Thank you for being here. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lyszflo/...
