TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. Just start. Let it be lousy. 

2. Fear doesn’t have to control your life. Talk to it. Challenge it.

3. Follow your curiosity. Make the ugly cheesecake, and the next one, and the next one.

4. Failure is not a dead end. It’s just one stop on the road to the next better iteration.

5. Give yourself a break. It’s okay to do less.

6. You don’t need to be an expert or an inventor to make a difference. Just do something that makes another person feel seen.
