1. Make Art. Every. Damn. Day.

My friend Lauren (seen above!) was the very first person to buy a Make Art. Every. Damn. Day. t-shirt from the new #BadassCreatives shop.

If you’ve been thinking about ordering one as a holiday gift, make sure you plan ahead. All products in the shop are printed-to-order by Printful, so I’ve updated the shop to include holiday ordering deadlines!

2. I Don’t Care About Growth

I identified so much with this article by Paul Jarvis.

Creating an extraordinary life means you must first determine what extraordinary means to YOU. The perfect life of someone else may not be the same as the perfect life for YOU.

3. Getting Published

I watched a great webinar by Michael Hyatt this weekend about book writing. (SUPER useful, as I'm currently in the middle of writing my next one!)

If you're thinking of writing a book, check out his advice to first-time authors or my blog post about getting published.

4. Podcast Obsessions

I learn SO MUCH by listening to podcasts during my daily commute. What I listen to tends to change every few weeks or so, but I’m currently loving The Speaker Lab, Zero to Book and The James Altucher Show.

(Also, I'm currently thinking about launching a podcast next spring to coincide with the book I'm working on. The concept is a series of interviews with some of my favorite #BadassCreatives. Would you listen? Hit "reply" and let me know!)
