Episode Synopsis

This episode is on Author Steven Pressfield and the Practice of Creative Work.

I learned about Pressfield through Joe Rogan's love of Pressfield's book, The War of Art. Rogan keeps a ton of copies to give to anyone doing creative work or wanting to making living doing creative work.

Pressfield worked as a writer for 17 years before he sold his first screen play.

He waited another 10 before he published his first book.

How'd he do it?

Through developing a creative practice of consistently doing the work.

This episode is about Pressfield and the practice of doing creative work.

Here are two other books that I discuss in the podcast:
1. Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield and 2. The Practice by Seth Godin.
