In this episode Josh discusses his dislike of marketeers pushing their content-as-leverage narrative, and not caring enough about what makes something truly worth spending your time with.

What Josh speaks about in this episode:
\\u2022 The new Saosin album \\u201cAlong the Shadow\\u201d and how damn awesome it is.
\\u2022\\xa0How discovering Amazon\\u2019s Kindle Rentals allowed Josh to both afford to rent \\u201cThe Dramatic Imagination\\u201d and also skip the cost of postage during a time when the $AUS is relatively weak against the $USD. (Programming Note: In the episode Josh referred to this book as \\u201cThe Creative Imagination\\u201d \\u2013 yeah he knows #thumbsdown)
\\u2022\\xa0Share what you\\u2019re truly fanatical about online, not what you think you can leverage into something more beneficial for yourself (and only for yourself) in the future.
\\u2022\\xa0If you use your reverence for the subject matter and the quality you build around that fandom/wisdom as your measuring stick, you allow yourself the chance to look back on your creative output with a thoughtful and caring eye \\u2013 as opposed to focussing solely on metrics like downloads, views, sales, dollars, etc, that might always leave you feeling empty.
\\u2022\\xa0Keeping what you\\u2019re fanatical about at the core of your sharing online allows a creator to avoid the \\u201cPrincipal-Agent-Problem\\u201d and maintain an alignment between what\\u2019s best for the Creator (Agent) and the Fan (Principal).
\\u2022\\xa0Leverage is great, but when it comes to creating awesome works, leverage is overrated in comparison to creating something great in-and-of-itself.
