19.25: From the Classroom to the Page
Learning is great, but how do you translate it into doing without getting overwhelmed? What is the difference between learning in the classroom and executing when you're on your own?
Marshall, our incredible recording engineer, just finished an MFA program. Congrats, Marshall!! On today\u2019s episode, we gril Marshall in order to understand his takeaways from the program. Specifically, we are interested in how he takes everything he learned in the classroom and turns it into actionable things he\u2019s doing on the page. We talk community, motivation, and how to consistently make time for your writing.\xa0
