Mind the Gap, but Don’t Let It Stop You

You probably know Ira Glass as the host of NPR’s legendary This American Life. In this video, Glass explains – as only he can do – that when you first start out, the disappointment you may feel in your work is natural.

While Glass applies many of his thoughts to clearly creative vocations, it can be applied elsewhere. Whether you’re trying to be an accountant, a father, or a professional figure skater, you’re bound to face the challenge of the experience gap. The key to it all, he says, is to just keep trying.
