Transcript excerpt

I'm stuck. I've been in here for two days. You ever feel like this stuff a little? You have all these great ideas, but every time you make something, it just doesn't look like what's in here. That feeling, that's the gap. The space between where you are and where you wish you were. But that's normal. It's part of the process. You're not alone, my friend. I'm here. I've been back here for a while. What's the way up? Keep going. Keep learning. Keep going. Keep learning. And one day, that gap, gone.
