I know a lot of people thrive by locking in, being by themselves. Then they come out with this beautiful product.
At some points I can work like that, but what I’m realizing is where I thrive is in community and collaboration.
A challenge that I’m going to challenge myself to do is just to collaborate and be in community as much as possible.
If I have the opportunity to work with someone in person, I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it because I need people. That’s why I create.
Let me know if you’re down. | By James Gardin
