Why You Should Push Yourself to Do Hard Things | Nat Eliason (Author)

My guest today is Nat Eliason, one of my favorite writers online.
Nat is the author of Crypto Confidential, a real-life thriller
about how he made and lost millions in crypto. We also talked
about how Nat uses AI to edit his writing, why he pushes himself
to do hard things like writing a sci-fi novel, and his advice for
aspiring creators on avoiding the dark side of the creator
economy. Nat is a personal inspiration to me. If you enjoy our
