Dil’s advice on the show

how do you deal with creative self-doubt when reviewing your own work?

Dil Takes Photos says he always focuses on the story and audience experience rather than technique, and acknowledges he tends to only see what he did wrong when reviewing his own content, but doesn't let that stop him from pushing to try new things.

what makes a podcasting or creative collaboration work?

Dil Takes Photos says collaboration works best when both people's schedules and workloads align, when the partnership provides accountability on days you want to quit, and when there's a genuine, organic connection rather than a forced one.

should you start a creative project even if you don't know if it will succeed?

Dil Takes Photos advises allowing yourself to dream and start projects (like merch or a new show) even without knowing if they'll work out, because you never know what it might become.
