There’s obviously a reason why we all look forward to Fridays..or am I the only one? From planning which shows to watch to picking books I can immerse myself in, there’s plenty that a Friday evening offers.

What are your Friday like? Before you go indulge in them, quickly go through our weekly round-up of happenings in the creator economy. ☕

In today’s Going Solo:

• Friday advice: Chip Heath on Beginning & Ending

• Discover a new creator: Elliot Roberts For Music & Movies

• Stuff worth watching: How to BOOST Mental Clarity and Productivity by Edward Lee

Chip Heath on Beginning & Ending

We’re all pumped when a journey begins, because we’re optimistic and excited to create, but as the journey progresses, somewhere we feel lost. Particularly as we approach the middle part and we feel clueless about what our creation will end up looking like.

This advice from Chip Heath comes handy then. 👇🏼

For the uninitiated, Chip Heath is an American professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business and author of multiple NYT bestselling books. He co-writes his books with his brother Dan Heath and you can check out their Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die here.

For the Love Of Music & Movies, Follow this YouTuber

We stumbled upon Elliot Roberts through a long-form video essay, where he dissects the differences between two movies on Steve Jobs. Of course, the one with Michael Fassbender and the other one with Ashton Kutcher.

After watching (and loving) that video, we moved on to his other videos and discovered a gold mine of content. If you love music and movies, you’ll find great stuff here.

He also hosts interviews and AMAs. Check out one of his videos here. 👇

What's the biggest hurdle creators face? Distractions and the brain fog that distractions can cause. Having clarity and mental well-being can help creators go the extra mile. 🏃

Edward Lee, a creator and filmmaker based out of Seattle, made a video on how he deals with brain fog and achieves productivity.
