Welcome to another episode of the Spun Today Podcast, where writing is our anchor, but our explorations are limitless. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and I’m thrilled to have you here for our 279th episode, a free writing session that's as much about personal discovery as it is about crafting prose. This week, we dive deep into the art of free writing, a technique I champion for its cathartic and exploratory benefits. I’ll also share some personal writing updates and a compelling writing tip from the iconic minds of Tim Ferriss and Ryan Holiday, offering insights into the freeing practice of journaling. Then we're delving into Charlie Munger's timeless wisdom from "Poor Charlie's Almanac," exploring how his principles can illuminate your path toward mastering your craft or any creative venture. Lastly, I'll open the time capsule and reflect on one of my past free writing pieces, discussing the journey of navigating emotions with intent. You'll find inspiration and practical advice to fuel your creative process and perhaps a nudge past your own hurdles in writing or any imaginative pursuit. Thank you for tuning in, and let’s get started! Check out all free-writing pieces at: spuntoday.com/freewriting.
