You know the feeling when every idea dies before it hits the page? That's not a creative block. That's you getting in your own way, too soon.

In this episode, we get into why the more ads you've made, the harder it gets to start one. How that little voice shows up earlier every time. And why "stuck" usually just means you bailed before the idea got interesting.

We cover the classic traps: perfectionism, comparisonitis, the fear that this one won't be the one, and what to do when you're deep in a brief and every thought feels DOA.

If you've ever sat there convinced you've got nothing, only to realize later you didn't wait long enough, this one's worth your time.
