The Mountain and the Dishes with Frank Rocks

About this episode

Caleb and Frank discuss the challenges of creativity and finding energy amidst burnout.

When it comes to art, exhaustion, and that uphill battle, Caleb and Frank feel it too, so you’re not alone. They talk about finding energy when you’re burnt out, making the thing before you even know what it is, and why sometimes you’ve just got to make it, dishes be damned.
