Hey,
Merry Christmas.
Happy Hanukkah.
And a Joyous Kwanzaa.
I’m on vacation this week.
But. I’m not going to leave you empty-handed.
Below are five videos that I watch every year around this time.
They include the wisdom of Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Charlie Kaufman, and David Foster Wallace.
I’ve linked to them below.
I can’t promise that these videos will guarantee success in 2023.
But I can tell you that, as a creator, watching these videos will make you 1% better than you were before you received this email.
This Is Water by David Foster Wallace
Kurt Vonnegut, the Shape of Stories
Andrew Stanton: The Clues to a Great Story
I’ll see you next week.
