It's no secret that trust is built on three key components: authenticity, logic, and empathy.

Today I want to talk about trust and its relationship to authenticity because trust is essential for…

You won't…

I'm friends with a lot of heartbroken people - good people, smart people, but the kind of shit-luck humans who can't pull their lives out of the muck and thrive no matter how hard they try. I'm that way too. I struggle with time management and knowing how long an artwork might take…

Don't apologize for the quality either.
Stop…
