Maker Monsters

<p>Maker monsters often creep in at the least opportune times, drag us backwards, convince us of defeat, fill us with self-doubt, so where do we go from here?  And what does that mean for our creative, professional work? </p><p>We hear from Smithsonian’s <i>Sidedoor </i>podcast host and producer Lizzie Peabody and poet and keynote speaker, Tucker Bryant, about how their maker monster, perfectionism, creeps into their creative work. We dive into how they conquer, co-exist, or accept defeat with their own internal monsters and explore how we can each carve out ways to find joy in our work and continue to make what matters.</p><p>*   *   *</p><p><strong>KEEP LEARNING + SUPPORT THE SHOW</strong></p><p>Subscribe to my free newsletter: <a href="https://jayacunzo.com/newsletter" target="_blank">jayacunzo.com/newsletter</a></p><p>Buy a book: <a href="https://jayacunzo.com/books" target="_blank">jayacunzo.com/books</a></p><p>Hire me to speak to your organization or event: <a href="https://jayacunzo.com/keynotes" target="_blank">jayacunzo.com/keynotes</a></p><p>*   *   *</p><p><strong>FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE:</strong></p><p>Lizzie Peabody: <a href="https://twitter.com/LizziePeabody" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/LizziePeabody</a> and <a href="https://www.lizziepeabody.com/" target="_blank">https://www.lizziepeabody.com/</a></p><p>Lizzie's podcast, Sidedoor: <a href="https://twitter.com/SidedoorPod" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/SidedoorPod</a> and <a href="https://www.si.edu/sidedoor" target="_blank">https://www.si.edu/sidedoor</a></p><p>Tucker Bryant: <a href="https://twitter.com/tucksbryant" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/tucksbryant</a> </p><p>Tucker's speaking site: <a href="https://tuckerbryant.me/" target="_blank">https://tuckerbryant.me/</a></p><p>*   *   *</p><p><strong>THANKS FOR LISTENING AND SUPPORTING!</strong></p><p>Keep making what matters.</p><p>-Jay</p>
