Summary

In this episode of Tell the Damn Story, Alex and Chris explore what it really means to commit to a creative path—not just in ambition, but in action.

They dig into the often-overlooked realities of collaboration: working with partners, editors, and creative peers; learning how to listen to critique without taking it personally; and understanding the difference between feedback that strengthens your work and noise that distracts from it.

Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and nearly 400 episodes’ worth of perspective, Alex and Chris break down why professionalism, patience, and openness are essential tools for any serious creative.

This episode is about showing up, doing the work, and learning how to grow—whether you’re working solo or building something with others.
