But in a way, it's also a poison challenge because you now set a floor.

So the next time you put something out, there's an expectation that that's your baseline.

So now you've got to get over it, right?

So it's really tough.

And I think the only way you can really break through that is to try to remove yourself from the feedback process and do things that make you smart, make you happy.

That's not us, is it, David?

Jesus whips.

twitter and whatever instagram i don't i don't think so because i think there's there's there's definitely parts of social media that are really important to to retain you know i mean

social networks were originally designed weren't they to bring people together around shared intro i mean it was a facebook was a college um networking site right so you signed up students and you kind of facilitated offline relationships that's what a social network should do bring people together share good quality information

and and give you a resource i suppose that helps you know learn more meet people and spend more time offline with them that so i think there's some really useful parts of social media really important to retain um but obviously the comparative parts the sniping parts the trolling parts those are elements that i think we could do less with less of but nevertheless you know it's like anything you're going to take the good with the bad

I think the biggest thing for me is to try to treat your work as a vocation and create stuff to leave in the world for people to enjoy and not worry about what the feedback is, but know that you just did a good enough job.

That was a good enough job.

I put work in, I put effort in, I created something and I'm going to leave it there.

and and almost take yourself out of what you've what you've created you know if i could put a book into the world without my name on it that would be great because it's the book that really is the important thing it's the education awareness and all the rest of it that's important not me um so yeah that that's that's and and i take a lot of lessons from my grandfather in that because he's a master craftsman and he just he just created things you know uh chairs banisters window frames what what about thomas when i know i've made stuff

Yeah, I mean, I'd have to say I'm the same.

So like, you know, I've had some wonderful feedback on my book, but there was also some very negative comments.

Well, the thing is like, so, so if you've written a bad book, right.

It's or a bad, bad sitcom or whatever, you know, it's, it's a three or two star, right?

Like it's just, people haven't really enjoyed it.

Did you write a review?
