[30:58] Dealing with creator’s block
One of the main struggles for beginner content creators or even seasoned ones is to keep on doing the work and utilizing the power of practice.
Practice, practice, practice and if you haven’t practiced, then practice more! Practice in front of your phone, tablet or recording device or even in the mirror. It is the only way to learn to speak in front of the camera, a crowd, a podcast or the like and improve your way of speaking, while also developing one’s voice.
Have you ever found yourself staring into a blank canvas and have no idea what to do? That’s creator’s block.
How do you deal with creator’s block then?
1. Step away from whatever you are doing for a day/week
2. Go outside and take a walk/jog/run
3. Re-charge yourself with something else that gives you joy
4. Rest – sleep, nap or do nothing
5. Ask yourself if you are enjoying what you are currently doing

IACOPO DI LUIGI
Iacopo was born in Florence – Italy. Computers and films shaped his interest in creating art and telling stories from an early age. He has 15+ years of experience in the world of visual effects for cinema and television, he started from small studios in Italy to end up working directly for Peter Jackson with his creative team and concluded his career in London where he spent 10 years managing Computer Graphic teams for big productions in the most prestigious companies.
Right before the pandemic hit in 2020 he was able to comfortably quit his VFX job, dedicate himself full-time to his passion project with his wife and now helping young online entrepreneurs walk the same path he walked to achieve a better lifestyle, a better income and more fulfillment by sharing his knowledge and strategies through online coaching and courses.
