Seth Godin recently made a post in which he stated the following:
The end of the trail is usually difficult, but without the long and winding approach, there isn’t much of a mountain.
The greatest hits reel and the stunning photographs leave out most of the hard work.
This aligns with a theme of many posts I have made over the years that creative expression is part of a lengthy development process rather than a lightning bolt moment–something that even artists themselves forget.
About a week ago, Haydn Corrodus posted this fun video from the Beamish Museum on LinkedIn
I appreciated Haydn making the following comment which acknowledges it takes time to achieve a level of virality, especially when employing modern slang with a deadpan delivery:
From looking at their page briefly, it seems like it was only a matter of time before one of their videos went viral.
They consistently post and get decent views.
