In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with creative mastermind Denny, a content creator who's redefining what it means to make art in the digital age. We dive deep into his creative process, from how he finds inspiration in client work to his unique "audio cut" method for planning videos. I was fascinated by his approach to opportunity cost, where he explains that "every yes is a no to something else" and the importance of being selective to achieve your long-term goals.

Denny also shares the powerful lesson he learned from a personal art challenge: that "action leads to inspiration." We discuss the fascinating story behind Marvin Gaye's classic album, "Here, My Dear," and how profound personal struggles can fuel the creation of great art. This conversation will challenge you to think beyond the algorithm and embrace a "make art, not content" mindset, focusing on storytelling and emotional depth to truly connect with your audience. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.
