Playing to Play not to Win (And why that's Genius...)!!
About this episode
Sometimes the easiest route isn’t the best route, and the real gold comes from the struggle.
In this episode, I get real about not being anyone’s first choice growing up (and even now sometimes) and how that fire sparked change in me.
We talk tenacity, seizing opportunities, never giving up, and the creative mindset that Rick Rubin talks about in The Creative Act: “We’re not playing to win, we’re playing to play, and playing is fun.”
Tune in for a reminder that the journey, not just the destination, is where the magic happens.
