Coaching a CNN-Featured Artist to Make His Work Travel Without Him | Matthew Mazzotta | Ep 1020

"Every single person has so much dimension in us that's not realized. Somehow, we've been convinced not to." - Matthew Mazzotta Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Matthew Mazzotta. Matthew turns what a community already has into what it never thought it could have. A condemned house that unfolds into a 100-seat theater. Dog waste burning as park light. A flamingo hanging inside an airport. This one goes at the gap between the work and the story of the work. What it costs a leader to let one output be merely adequate. Why the obvious fix is usually the wrong stone to pull. What has to be true for your work to travel without you in the room. Three things to take: - Curiosity is the entry fee. No spectacle, no audience. - The ingredients already exist around you. Only the story is missing. - Your best day at one skill is someone else's thirty percent. Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
