DIY Culture is incredible, but it has a massive dark side that isn’t discussed nearly enough - The Toxic Ego inflation and elitism that comes with the DIY scene. 


Being able to create on your own is AMAZING, and something I’m doing right now to get this episode to you. But do you know that person who is grinding 24/7 and constantly complains they are the only one working hard for their dream, and that’s why they’re failing? If ONLY they could get some help they’d excel but alas, they are the starving artist and they will die on their sword because the world is against them!!’

Let’s examine WHY these mindsets approach and avoid becoming the DIY Martyr!
