But when you're in it, the most important thing is that there's an output.

Now your original question was about developing the taste.

I think if you've got that creative system and you are publishing consistently, the taste will come.

But you will never get to it until you start publishing consistently.

You don't know what you have to say or what you really think about things until there's that creative output.

Writing is the basis of everything that I do, all the podcasts, all the YouTube videos, the blog, the newsletter, all that kind of stuff.

It all comes back from that ability to write, which I developed simply by forcing myself to sit down and write.

The blank page stops so many people.

Well, give me a bunch of options.
