This is the beginning of Craftsmith.
I've been building this podcast for months wrestling with the exact force Steven Pressfield named in The War of Art. So it felt right that the first episode is about the man who gave Resistance its name.
Listen to the episode:
Why did a late bloomer who didn't publish his first novel until 52 become the definitive voice on creative Resistance? Because he fought it hand-to-hand for 27 years, and every chapter of The War of Art traces back to a battle he lived.
In this episode:
A typewriter carried for years but hated too much to open
Why he pulled the pin at 99.9% done again, and again
A bumper sticker that planted the seed for an entire book
The most honest thing anyone's said about not giving up
The night he sat down crazy and got up sane
