Ray Sorrell and a collaborator discuss why credibility matters in creative work: you have to follow through on what you say you'll do. They use the metaphor of a Trailblazer, someone willing to move cities and take risks, accepting the smoke that comes with constant motion and innovation.
A lot of guys will say, you know, you're on a different level. Absolutely. And but what you said earlier, if I told you, I don't know why people don't take value in your word. I don't know if they just think that you are just saying it to say it, or people have a one-track mind and this is what I know what you want, but I know I'm zoned in, I'm fixed on what I want, I'm fixed on my end goal. So whatever you say, oh, sound good, but you don't really mean it. I think I can change it. But no, take value in my word. If I say I'm working, I'm working. And I respect the man who works. I respect the man who respects his craft. And I think there, like I said, there has to be that balance. But I think people like us who are in the industry, you got to have somebody who has that understanding. Like, they either have to be in some type of industry too or something to have that understanding. Because I've had guys, they just, they pouting in the corner while I'm editing. Like, are you in the corner pouting?
Grown-ass man.
Grown-ass powdered. I was like, nigga, I've been there. I, I— if I'm lying, I'm lying.
And listen, and then thing about being the Trailblazer, you going to smell like smoke.
Going city to city, we turning corners. When you with Trailblazer, smelling like smoke. Pay attention to the joke.
