Managing Expectations

Everyone tends to focus on stories of the “best,” the “greatest,” and those who’s culminating work has granted them exceptional results. However, rarely do we learn and talk about how to be a beginner. Simply put, The Beginner’s Project is a podcast and blog dedicated to just that notion. We are here to celebrate all beginners for diving head first into their unknown – and to hear their stories of doing such. On the podcast, we’ll talk to folks just beginning to learn something and their approaches such as learning to play the fiddle. Lean in. Be a beginner with us. thebeginnersproject.org
