What if the thing you’re best at is the thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode, The Creator’s Curse: When Your Talent Becomes a Trap, we break down the silent phase no one talks about, when your skill turns into comfort, comfort turns into a cage, and success slowly kills your hunger.

This is about creators who aren’t lazy… just bored with their own brilliance. The ones who feel stuck, not because they failed, but because they mastered something too well and outgrew it.

If you’ve been hitting targets but feeling hollow, delivering results without feeling alive, this episode exposes the trap — and the uncomfortable truth that growth starts when you willingly become a beginner again.

Because being good got you here, being brave takes you further.

Welcome to the age of manufactured authenticity.

We used to fake perfect lives. Now we fake honesty.

In this episode, we dive into the rise of “performed vulnerability”—where being real has become a strategy, pain has become content, and authenticity has turned into an aesthetic. From crying reels to perfectly framed breakdowns, we explore how the internet learnt to monetise honesty and how creators learnt to package their truth.

This isn’t about calling people fake. It’s about questioning a culture that rewards performative transparency and punishes real privacy.

Are we actually connecting more or just perfecting the illusion of connection?

A raw, reflective storytime on what it really means to be real in a world that turns everything into content.

This isn’t a podcast about chasing money, it’s about chasing growth.

From Draft to Dollars is where ideas become motion and motion becomes meaning.

It’s about mindset, clarity, and the messy middle between “I want to” and “I did.”

Because the real dollars aren’t cash, they’re confidence, peace, and purpose.
