I’m making a big decision and I would love your input.

For context: last year I launched a 7-day course to help people supercharge their creativity. The responses blew me away: over 3,300 students so far with an average rating of 4.9/5.

I am excited to launch a new course this year and I have a few ideas, but before I make the decision I want your input.

Our community is so smart and insightful, so let me know what you think. I deeply value your input.

What course would be of greatest service to you?

A) a course to help you supercharge your mornings
B) a course to help you fall asleep deeply and consistently
C) a course to help you supercharge your confidence
D) a course to help you build a consistent journaling and writing practice
E) something I haven’t thought of

Let me know in the comments or reply in a direct message. If your answer is E, please be specific to what you have in mind. And if you like a few, please list them in order of favourite.

I’m open to hearing any and all answers. Please don’t be shy; even half-baked ideas are welcome.

Big love,

D

What changes do you want to see in the No Strangers project this year? I want to hear your ideas!

Last year I created a video series where I met strangers on the street and did a 30-second photoshoot with them. In the beginning I didn’t care about views.

Then in the fall, things really took off. I had several viral videos. I connected with over 60 humans and shared their stories with over 10,000,000 people on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

It’s definitely a hit of dopamine watching your work go viral several times over. It felt like a slot machine, and I admit I began to chase that feeling.

And that’s not the point. At least not for me.

While I’m grateful that the project was so well received, as I gear up for Season 2 I want to start fresh. I’d rather do work I find interesting, that feels honest and helps me grow as an artist and human.

I want to experiment, and make mistakes and discover something new from those mistakes.

I’d rather follow my joy rather than chase virality.

So let’s play. Let’s experiment. Let’s follow the deepest joy.

All this to say: what do you think would be fun to do for Season 2?

• Should I ask people a different question?

• Should I use a new style of photography?

• Should I make longer videos or try a different format?

I’m not worried about getting fewer views or “losing” the status I gained with the project. I want to hear your ideas! I know that my community on social media is filled with kind, deep and meaningful humans with lots of creativity.

Let me know what you want to see in Season 2. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM if you’d prefer.

Big love,

D
