This is one of the best videos to ever exist for entrepreneurs, creators... I think about it often.

In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited a NYU music production class to critique student songs.

At the beginning you could see student "Maggie Rogers" drenched with the absolute terror of sharing this with him.

Pharrell is there just trying to keep his excitement in.

The guy couldn’t wait to tell her this song is the bee’s knees.

After he listened to a song called “Alaska”, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”

24 hours later, someone posted the clip to Reddit.

It blew up and the rest is history. Grammy nominated, millions of followers etc.

And Maggie responded to the Reddit thread (i'll share screenshot in the next tweet).

This story I find so cool because it inspires other artists to share what they got.

We all can all connect with the fear of showing our work. It ain't easy.

And to have a unique POV like Maggie. Easy to copy, harder to have something unique.

I’ve got a bunch of designs, creations that have never seen the light of day.

This video inspires me to publish more.

My point of sharing this video:

Publish your art anonymously.

Or publish your art proudly as yourself. Bonus points if it's one of a kind work.

But publish your darn art.

This is your new week's energy.

This is your 2024 energy.

Go get 'em.
