Steal Like an Artist: Generating creative ideas, practically

Austin Kleon's Steal Like an Artist exonerates creative people from the burden of originality.

In this video, I explore my understanding of Kleon's work, how I've used it in my own creative journey, and ultimately a warning against uninspired plagiarism.

I wrote this video months before I published it, have been trying to finish it since then, and can see all the glaring flaws in the writing, story, and pacing. Felt funny listening to myself talk about not understanding Max Joseph's work deeply because I still don't. Publishing this video now I realize how little I understand about making compelling videos or even educational ones. That's exciting though!

The plan forward is to document my evolution as a creator on this channel, answer questions and elucidate the infinite uncertainties of creative pursuits.
Thanks for watching, especially if you read all of this.
