Maker Revolution

There is more capacity, resilience, innovation, and creativity in all of us collectively then in then in any of us alone. Stealing Fire, Steven kotler and Jamie wheal

The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

To my fellow creators, thank you for continuously inspiring me and blazing a new, exciting path for all of us. Lilly Singh

The internet is a crowded, noisy sandbox. The maker revolution is here, and has been so fun to watch. Remember back in the day when we only had TV to watch? Remember when there was only 4 channels and 4 entertainment powerhouses, and it kind of felt like they were always guessing at what we wanted to watch, and weren’t really getting it right? And now we can vote by watching and subscribing and directly supporting the content we like? Hooray, Internet.

I also love that Hollywood is not the only major movie producer any longer. Up your game hollywood! I love that Netflix, Youtube, Amazon, Apple and probably more that aren’t even on my radar are making quality content. Which means that there are more jobs for actors, and all the other creators that it takes to make a movie, and that the content has to be really good in order to capture an audience’s attention.

I love that makers are open and honest about their flaws and shortcomings instead of like traditional Hollywood where publicists wouldn’t allow their clients to have an unshiny moment.

Aren’t you glad that since the barrier to entry has dropped there are so many creators whose work we get to enjoy and learn from?

I love that makers have such a great way to share their work. The more we all contribute and elevate the messages out there, the better off we will be. So go create, participate, even if it doesn’t turn into a career, or even if it does. Take part in the beautiful conversation that is happening right now.
