In today\u2019s episode I'm welcoming back one of my all-time favorite guests, writer Steven Pressfield. Steven is the author of several popular novels including "The Legend of Bagger Vance," "Gates of Fire," and "The Virtues of War." He\u2019s also written several popular non-fiction books on the creative process, like "Do the Work" and "The War of Art," which cover how to overcome what he calls "the Resistance." Steve\u2019s now got a new novel out called "The Knowledge." It\u2019s based on his early days as a writer in 1970s New York City and provides the backstory of how he learned to overcome the Resistance in his own life.\nToday on the show, Steve and I discuss how the Resistance rears its ugly head in our lives and how to overcome it by transforming from an amateur to a professional. We then talk about Steve\u2019s early days as a writer and the struggles he went through in becoming a pro.\nIf you are or someday hope to be a writer, artist, or entrepreneur, you\u2019re going to love this episode. It\u2019s filled with insights on the mindset you need to adopt in order to thrive in any endeavor.
