Summary

When working on a project, do you carefully plot or fly by the seat of your pants? How do you switch gears between different projects or even different mediums? This episode is a conversation with Michael Dante DiMartino, the writer, producer and co-creator of the animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and 'Legend of Korra'.

0:27.0	Hey, you're listening to Creative Pep Talk, a weekly podcast companion for your creative journey.
