    #53 -New Name (Previously Time Flies Philosophy)

    Here we are once again. The new name is The Creative Stoic Podcast. If you've been a listener for long enough, you'll know that this podcast has gone through 2 name changes. Why do I do this? Because I want to be biased towards action. The way I see it, there are 2 ways to get creative work done. 1) Spend months, or years trying to find the perfect name for what you want to create. Planning every single thing with the risk of never starting. 2) Just start. Correct things as you go, people don't even care that much as you do. Just do things, and improve them when you have a clearer vision of things. I thing The Creative Stoic Podcast captures what this podcast is all about.  Let me know your thoughts on the name change, send me a message: Instagram: instagram.com/santiyounger Contact Me: santiyounger.com/stoic-contact Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/santiyounger Newsletter: santiyounger.com/newsletter
