What if rejection was the very thing that made you a better creator?

In this episode of the Useful Creator Podcast, Guest host Lorenzo Hodges interviews me and we explore the lessons that shaped my creative journey, from the precision of print design to the wild west days of early web animation.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this conversation:

• How rejection early on built resilience and sharpened my eye for detail.

• Why trial and error is the secret weapon of every great creator.

• The surprising connection between useful content and innovation.

• And the mindset shifts that turn problems into opportunities.

If you’ve ever struggled with creative setbacks, or wondered why some content connects while others flop, this episode is packed with insights to help you level up as a creator.
