The Creative Peril Podcast

Patience Is A Requirement

Episode Summary

What is up—Understory Bard here, Wade Skalsky. Patience is a virtue, sure—but for creatives it's a requirement. We see the finished thing in our heads (business where we want it, book past first draft) and get itchy. Even God took time; my late corn is still deciding whether to shoot up. Skip the season and you ace yourself out of the opportunity. Same energy as not proposing on date one. Anything worth building has steps. I just started another one-man show—I know the sequence now because I already ran five nights in Hollywood—but the first time a remote coach up north couldn't cover the LA-specific lessons I only learned by doing them wrong. That's why batching a year of "journey" content in a day is dumb: you lock your audience at that afternoon's level. This lineage is around episode 658. I'm a Ricky Bobby doer, not a thinker—this one's a reminder for me too. Don't skip steps. Stay present. Patience grows depth. From the garage bunker—talk soon.
