Join Mike Malatesta as he sits down with the legendary Steven Pressfield, an acclaimed author whose insights on creativity and overcoming resistance have been a beacon for many. Listen in as they explore Steven's concepts of shadow careers and the critical moment of 'pulling the pin,' committing to one's true calling. Steven and Mike share a frank discussion about why talent is less important than the dedication to the craft, and they dissect the idea of humanism as a form of resistance—pondering whether striving for perfection helps or hinders the creative process.

This conversation takes a turn towards the intricate dance between identifying as a writer versus an author, inspired by Tucker Max's mentorship approach. Steven reflects on the trials and tribulations that come with a commitment to writing, the temptation to escape into other professions, and the inner conflicts that surface as one embraces the writer's identity. The passion for the process, not the hunt for accolades or success, is what truly drives a creative soul through the labyrinth of resistance that so often blocks the path to completion.

Steven also tackles the realities of long-term creative projects, dissecting how to navigate the daunting phases from conception to the potential sting of failure. The importance of viewing a creative career as a lifelong practice is underscored, with an emphasis on growth through continuous effort and learning from inevitable setbacks. Tune in for a candid and inspiring dialogue that will illuminate the relentless pursuit of artistic achievement and the resilience required to bring one's work to the world.
