About Me
Welp. I'm starting all over again with Joshua Spodek's Initiative exercises from the very start. For the fourth time. But I'm happy about it. And here's why. If you read Josh's book on Method Initiative, there's one thing
About Me
The goal of Initiative Exercise 4 was to ask 10 family and friends for advice on your chosen project. In a bit of a turn of events, I started to do this, but within a few interviews, I decided that my chosen project from Exercise 3 was not right for
