A Wizard Is Never Late: Creating Beyond the Algorithm | Ep 105

A Wizard Is Never Late: Creating Beyond the Algorithm

I’m done chasing perfection. This is a live, unscripted reset on creator authenticity, “flow state,” and showing up when it actually matters. In this video, I talk about escaping the algorithm mindset, why improvisational creation builds trust, and how to steady your mind between past regret and future anxiety so you can make the thing.

I reflect on the pressure to piggyback trending stories and why that can feel hollow, even if it “works.” The better path is consistency, consent, and honesty with your audience and yourself.

Two ideas thread the episode. First, Gandalf’s line, “A wizard is never late… he arrives precisely when he means to”, as a creative compass: the moment you’re in is the only place you can make from. Second, pronoia: training your perception to notice how the world can conspire to help (the pizza-ordering allegory), a practical antidote to paranoia that keeps you in motion.
