Overcoming Resistance with Steven Pressfield

Get ready for an incredible conversation with the incomparable Steven Pressfield, whose novels and books on creativity have inspired countless creators. Our connection dates back a decade and has been instrumental in my journey to becoming a full-time writer and coach.

Steven is the author of the bestselling novels Gates of Fire, Tides of War, and The Legend Of Bagger Vance, which turned into a huge movie with Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. He's also the author of the classics on creativity, The War Of Art, Turning Pro, and Do The Work.  These are my absolute favorites and must-read books if you're creative, create any type of content, an entrepreneur, or simply someone with a dream in your heart.

He's also just released The Daily Pressfield, which is 365 days (plus a bonus week) of motivation, inspiration, and encouragement. I received an advanced copy of this and it's absolutely incredible!

This chat delves into the heart of creativity, ambition, and inspiration. But it really centers around resistance. Often seen as the most daunting hurdle in the creative process, Steven equips us with wisdom on how to overcome it. We discuss: 

• How to beat resistance/procrastination.
• How resistance can be the most intense when the project is closest to our hearts.
• Steven's own experiences with surrendering to the universe in order to make breakthroughs in his work. 
• The power of finishing a project and how ambition plays a crucial role in an artist's journey.
• The mysterious sources of creative inspiration and how to tap into it.
• The importance of embracing imperfection. 
• How imperative it is to take risks and put ideas out into the world, even when they aren't perfect. 
• The challenges of maintaining focus in our fast-paced world filled with distractions. 
• The necessity of staying true to our creative integrity.

Whether you're an artist, author, entrepreneur, or 9-5'er, there's something in this episode for everyone!
