Do More Cool Shit
Do More Cool Shit is hosted by Shawn MacDonell who is spreading the good word of creativity and courage. I will share the best projects, chat with folks doing fun, creative stuff, and offer up challenges all in the hopes to motivate and inspire you to pick up a hammer, play the guitar, do whatever the heck you have always wanted to do. Something getting in your way? Let us exorcize that shit right out of your way. Creativity and courage is not magic it is something we must practice. It is something we must think about. You can do it and I can help. https://www.domorecoolshit.com/
