33. The Monday Break(Through) 021 - How Many Tries Does It Take to Make a Masterpiece?

We live in a world obsessed with the highlight reel — the bestselling book, the viral moment, the overnight success. But what if the real magic is in the volume of work no one ever sees?

In this Monday Break(Through), I reflect on a single post by @mattgottesman that hit me hard — and how it led me to discover a feed full of wisdom, perspective, and quiet truth. From Frank Sinatra’s 1,300 songs to Picasso’s 150,000 artworks, this episode is about the unseen effort behind every masterpiece… and what that means for the rest of us who are still creating in the quiet.

🎙️ Plus — a little behind-the-scenes: Matt Gottesman will be joining me for an Instagram Live this Friday on The Type Convo. Don’t miss it.
