011. When Your Taste Exceeds Your Skill: Surviving the Creative Gap

🎨 You see the masterpiece in your mind—but what comes out still falls short. This is the Taste Gap. And if you’re in it, know you're a part of a long lineage of creatives and artists who've toiled in the trenches.

This video is for the ones who can see what their work could be, but haven’t caught up to it yet. And we hope, we'll never truly catch up. The frustration is proof of your potential.

Inside, I unpack:

🔸 What the Taste Gap actually is (and why it hurts so much)

🔸 How to survive when your vision outpaces your skill

🔸 Why your future self keeps handing you the dream before you’re ready

🔸 What it means to be “alive inside your potential”

🔸 5 practical tools to keep going through the gap

The gap isn’t a sign to quit. It’s a signal that you’re on the right path. You’re closer than you think—and you’re not alone in this.
