Ep. 102 - "Beyond Terrible" — The Best Comment I've Ever Received

A YouTube commenter called one of my videos "Beyond Terrible." It ended up being one of the most useful things anyone's ever said to me — and the video after it became my best-performing one yet.

In this episode of Design More, Despair Less, I break down four ideas that have shaped how I approach design, career, and building an audience:

— Why how you respond when things go wrong matters more than the thing going wrong

— Why nothing great gets designed without constraints

— How putting yourself in the right situations creates opportunity (and where I actually find it)

— Why doing hard things on purpose makes the rest of life easier
