“This is an invocation for anyone who hasn’t begun; whose stuck in a terrible place between zero and one.”

It is perhaps easiest to doubt ourselves when we are creating; uncertain to what fruits will come of our labour, its reception, and if it will be eventually classified as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Ze Frank’s inspirational quips remind us of our abilities to create and that second-guessing ourselves will always be unproductive. Every work of creativity is always a risk.

Ze Frank is an web-based public speaker who has been featured on TED, and gained internet fame in 2001. He created the daily web series “The Show with Ze Frank,” and recently a new series, “A Show.” He focuses on the web as a creative platform that is as active, and important, as physical, daily life. “On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it’s easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there.”
