Nobody Knows Anything (Excerpt from the Book Destroy Digital Media Platforms)

Who can say you’re not ready to be in the big leagues with A-lister? I say Nobody. Listen to another exciting excerpt from my book DESTROY Digital media platforms. In this episode, I encourage URCs (Underrepresented Creatives) to keep moving forward despite the haters and negative feedback.Many out of the box creatives have been passed on because some big-wig gatekeeper has decided that they’re not good enough or that they don’t fit a particular mold.
