Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin · Steven Pressfield · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

Well, in the beginning of my career, I made a lot of things in a row that were very successful.

And then still doing the same things, I did the first couple of things that were not successful.

And I realized that those are no less good than the ones that were successful.

It's just a different metric, what people think.

Uh-huh.

I'm not playing the what people think game.

I'm making the thing that I like and I'm showing it to my friends.

Uh-huh.

And if they like it, great.

And if they don't like it, it's okay.

I can sleep well because I know I did everything I could to make it the best it could be.

I always use the word greatness.

I'm working towards greatness.

I didn't know what it meant.

Greatness is not sales.

It's not reviews.

It's not radio airplay.

It's greatness.

And are you the only judge of that?

Well, yes.
