Your success is no longer about your ability to do what you are told, and do it well.

Competence is the enemy of change!

Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.

It takes confidence and guts to intentionally create tension.

You don't make art after you become an artist. You become an artist by ceaselessly making art.

People get good gigs because they stand up....You don't get picked. Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.

What we most need in our lives, though, is something worth doing, worth it because we care.
