After a year-long hiatus, Taylor and Cobain are back to unpack the single most important lesson they learned: Take the messy action.In this episode, they get real about why they stepped away, the creative's biggest enemy—perfectionism—and the lesson they learned about building in community instead of in silence. If you've ever felt stuck in the planning phase or waited until things were "perfect," this is the conversation you need to hear.Plus, they share two massive announcements born from this new mindset: the launch of their new business, Brain Juice Coffee, and their new horror-comedy short film.Chapters: 00:00 - Intro: The Power of Messy Action00:52 - Why We Took a Year Off02:08 - The Theme of the Year: "Take the Messy Action" 03:10 - The Big Lesson We Learned from Our Break04:14 - "We Abandoned the Community to Build"05:43 - The Trap of "High Production" Perfectionism06:50 - The "Real Gs Move in Silence" Misconception 08:41 - Big Announcement: We Started a Coffee Company 09:50 - Why Coffee?
