How to Be a Better Human · Summer Fridays: The art of paying attention (w/ Wendy MacNaughton and Laurel Braitman) · 28 Aug 2026 podcast

I've heard you, Wendy, write about the idea that like everything that is happening is right for the material, that like you deliberately work with a medium watercolor where things can't be completely perfectly controlled. voice-verified

And that I think a lot of people, especially when they're like paying attention or trying to access creativity, they get stuck and they're like, am I looking at the right thing or am I doing it in the right way? voice-verified

So voice-verified

I'm curious to just hear you talk a little bit more about like imperfection and mistakes. voice-verified

For me, this line was important in my head of like having a day job or not having a day job. voice-verified

And now that I don't now that I don't have a quote unquote day job, I realized that like that was a totally artificial line and that like you can make great art. voice-verified

In fact, in some ways I think maybe I made better, more interesting comedy before I worried about whether it would make money or not. voice-verified

But voice-verified

In my head there's this line where before I'd made that jump, I thought so like voice-verified

Oh my gosh, like there's a l these are professional comedians. voice-verified

And then there's me, and I'm so different. voice-verified

And something that I think is really voice-verified

Amazing about both of you is you you have these incredible professional accomplishments. voice-verified

You are very extremely talented, and that's come over years, but you're also really dedicated to breaking down that wall of like I'm not capital A artist and you're lowercase a amateur. voice-verified

Like I'm not professional writer and you're amateur writer, but instead having people see that they have the ability and the talent and unique voice that they can express. voice-verified

So voice-verified

How do you get people to believe that? voice-verified

Because you you both do a lot of work with people who probably don't initially believe that. voice-verified

I know you could give many different exercises, but maybe something from the world of drawing and something from the world of writing. voice-verified

If someone is listening wants to try something, just s something small that they can put into place. voice-verified
