What’s really holding you back from working for yourself? Is it a fear of criticism or a need for validation or maybe a little of both?
I’m so excited to have on the show today, thought leader Chris Brogan, who has spent the past 20+ years helping people and business learn how to build community be creating content.This guy was blogging before the rest of us even knew what it was all about!

We’re gonna talk about his next book, Make Your Own Game, which is very in alignment with the mission of this podcast to create your own work with purpose.
Although this is one of my shorter interviews, almost even minute of our conversation is packed with insights that will challenge how you currently view work.
Chris shares his views on the future of work and what you need to do to start reprogramming your mind for the new realities of work.
His biggest lesson: Stop censoring yourself. Instead, attempt, fail, adapt. Oh, and he also advises, stop caring about both praise and criticism if you want to succeed.
