## Resource

Here’s the question this show keeps asking: What does it cost to keep choosing the work? This is The Difficulty — a podcast about the choices that shape a creative life, and the courage it takes to make them. I’m Dr. Chad Prevost — writer, publisher, ICF-certified coach. I’ve spent years inside the questions creative people actually wrestle with. Not the productivity-hack version. The real one. New episodes weekly. Full episodes, transcripts, and Notes from the cutting-room floor. Subscribe wherever you listen. The Difficulty . Start anywhere.
