“The point of any real collaboration is to go somewhere neither of you could go alone.“ - Austin Kleon

As I’ve written over and over again, when you think about creativity as a collaborative effort, it frees you up from the pressures and perils of being some kind of solitary genius. You can not only find or make the scenius you want to be part of, you can figure out what you can make out of the scenius you already have. You can open yourself up to influence and change and improvisation. You can learn the biggest lesson: The point of any real collaboration is to go somewhere neither of you could go alone.
