Adam Lisagor (me) on Creative Failure: An Interview by Jeremy Fuksa
At SXSW I met a real good guy named Jeremy Fuksa who asked if he could sit me down for an interview about creative failure. It was a topic that intrigued me, so we made it happen. And together, we went on a journey.
Here, Jeremy (a gifted, comfortable interviewer), has taken my half hour of rambling and packaged it in a tight, utterly watchable 8 minutes with clever interstitials, in which I sound not all that much like an idiot jerk. Although I can’t figure out what inspired me on that morning to have drunk a whole can of beet juice under the hot sun and then poured it all over my face and then gotten embarrassed about it.
My afternoon with lonelysandwich.
When I was at SXSW this year, I decided I’d take the time to work on a project about creative failures. I asked a number of prominent Internet names if they’d share a little bit about their creative failures on camera.
…
The original plan was to sit down and do 5 minutes on a creative failure that came to his mind. In the end we sat down for over 30 minutes and talked about a wide variety of issues revolving around being a creative person and what it means to temper impulse and energy to increase your chances of creative success.
All that is a bunch of fancy lad talk to say that Adam says he’s lazy and makes sure something he’ll make is good before he gets his ass off the couch.
Very cool interview about creative types.
P.S. If you aren’t crazy about Adam Lisagor: you should be. I know I am.

The most important takeaway here? Care enough about the stuff you make to not waste people’s time.
