Courage vs comfort: Is it finally time to pursue your dreams?

At some point, every one of us will reach a point in our professional lives where it's time to change — but the status quo, even when it's not working, is comfortable. Are you ready to say goodbye to your old life in order to find your way to a new, better one? But you don't have a map?  That's what Daily Creative host Todd Henry and his "story architect" producer Josh Gott wrestle with in the episode we deconstruct together, "The Curious Death of Todd Henry." You won't be the same after you listen to this episode — a play in seven acts.  Follow Sound Judgment on your favorite podcast app, or subscribe to our channel @SoundJudgmentPod on Youtube.  Listen to the full  episode deconstructed on today's show: Daily Creative: The Curious Death of Todd Henry Follow Daily Creative Join Us for New Sound Judgment Workshops!
