Go Analog! - Radio Ink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jerry Seinfeld wrote every episode of Seinfeld longhand, on a yellow legal pad, with a blue Bic pen. He still writes that way. He’s said the flashing cursor on a screen makes him anxious, like it’s asking, “So, whaddaya got?” Writing by hand slows you down just enough for ideas to emerge. Creativity needs room to wander, take wrong turns, and sit there doing nothing for a minute. That’s incubation. A blank sheet of paper gives your brain permission to explore without judging whether an idea is g
Asking Versus Telling - Radio Ink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the era of loud, fast-talking announcer DJs, my radio mentor, Todd Wallace, asked my fellow DJs and me, “Would you talk to your neighbor over the back fence like a pukey DJ or just in natural conversation?” Of course we all said we’d talk to them conversationally.

Jim Carrey was a struggling, broke comedian when he drove up Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, looked out at the city lights, and wrote himself a check for $10 million for “acting services rendered.” He kept it in his wallet until he made $10 mil
Silence Your Inner Critic - Radio Ink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Self-talk is the conversation you have with yourself. It shapes how you handle stress, motivation, mistakes, and everyday challenges. For creative media personalities, that conversation is especially critical. The inner critic is the voice that questions, judges, and even bullies you. It says: “That sucks.” “That bit will never work.” “Why did I say that?” It loves comparison and is quick to point out everything that went wrong while ignoring what went right. Your self-talk can either free you t
