I am floored. this episode gave me so much to think about and further recognize in my practice/career. I've been in this exact spot for a while, regarding the theme of the episode. I knew already that for the last two years I have been exiting the phase of stagnation/recognizing that I needed to find the artistry/style/discretion whatever you prefer to call it-- I've been really working at that and I am glad that I was on the right track according to these guys. However, I have been struggling with finding exercises in how to improve my work for hiring without retreading and repeating what I already know and have already done getting to that point in learning to draw/paint. Lots of good soul searching questions and advice given here but....This nine grid self-audit exercise alone is blowing my mind. This grid is the first concrete helpful suggestion that I've heard of IN YEARS! I cannot wait to get started on this!
