The Credit Belongs to You

By Jerod Morris

FREE POSTER: You are the Showrunner

You are the showrunner.

Which means that you are creating pieces of media for an audience that are imbued with some part of yourself … even if only you can recognize what that part is.

It’s there. It’s real. It’s you.

This means that with each and every piece of content you put out there, you open yourself up to rejection and criticism — the kind that can sting.
