Ep 70: When in Doubt - Delulu is the Solulu
Description
This episode is based on an internet slang mantra which translates to "Delusion is the Solution." Find out why healthy artists rely heavily on healthy self-delusion to self-motivate. Like Comedian, Nina Oyama, says, one must create a "self deception turducken" to persevere in a creative pursuit.
I also threw in Lady Gaga, David Shrigley and even Salvador Dali who all had excellent quotes.
