Congrats on the 500 milestone John. Which ties in with #1 on your list, going first. An important thing for a manager to champion and set the context for, but also something every individual creator has to remember. It's practically the job description of being a creator—just go first. And if you can be open to modifying your products and expression when the feedback comes your way then you're on the road to success. But it takes a lot of maturity and personal stability to go first, and perhaps even more to hold your seat when the feedback comes. This is an underrated dynamic as a professional competency and I appreciate you calling it out.

That's so true, Rick. To put your work out there takes a certain level of strength. To then be open to feedback takes even more grounding. But that's where the magic happens - keep iterating and improving. Appreciate the support!
