How to Bridge the Gap Between Good Taste and Quality

There's a wonderful video floating around by Ira Glass, the host of the radio show, This American Life. In the clip he shares how people drawn to creative endeavors are led by having good taste. But there's a gap nobody ever tells you about.

It's the gap between bridging that good taste with high quality content. It takes years for the two to grow in harmony with one another. And because it takes time most people end up quitting.

But if you're resilient, flexible in your thinking, and understand cultivating any endeavor worth pursuing takes time, the two eventually meet one another. When that happens, it's magic.

The key is to keep producing work. Don't stop. No matter how discouraged you feel or inadequate you're convinced the work is. 

Share your voice relentlessly until you bridge that gap.
