Very inspiring – thanks very much to both of you for this, the best so far in this already strong series. I like the idea of 8 people in Sara’s wallet with whom she will consult on new work that she’s producing – I’m going to try that, although at first it is going to be virtual i.e. I’ll consult them in my head – probably goes totally against the spirit of it but never mind, it’s where I’m at at the moment.
Thanks Patrick – great to hear you enjoyed the interview and picked up something to try for yourself.
If you’re going to try the whole consulting in your head, better to not try this in public… could be an interesting look. 😉
Love to hear how that goes for you. BTW, I don’t think you need to start with a bunch of people to consult, one or two you can trust and who’s opinion you value are probably enough to start with.
