Creating Order Out of Chaos: Perfectionism, Criticism and Vulnerability with Sean Tucker

When Sean Tucker was thrown out of the church for being a heretic, he discovered the importance of adopting a creative outlet to work through his frustrations.

Sean is now a successful photographer, filmmaker, speaker, and the author of The Meaning in the Making, a brilliant book that shares his philosophy for living a creative life.

Through his experiences, Sean has learnt the importance of knowing who you are and how you’re wired, the perils of being a perfectionist, and how to pull order out of chaos.


‘Everything we put out in the world, if it's courageous, should generate a whole soup of responses, positive and negative and everything in between’ – Sean Tucker

For Episode 3 of We Need to Make Things I chat with Sean Tucker @seantuck about the importance of knowing who you are, the perils of being a perfectionist, vulnerability, and the time he was thrown out of the church for being a heretic, among many other things!

Sean is a photographer, filmmaker, author and speaker. He also hosts a popular YouTube channel where he seeks to inspire other creatives by looking at the ‘why’ of photography, rather than just the ‘how’. In 2021 Sean released a brilliant book sharing his philosophy for the creative life entitled The Meaning in the Making.

This episode is full of Sean’s wonderful wisdom including:

👉 How to overcome ‘brutal’ perfectionism
👉 Why we shouldn’t let fear stop us sharing our work
👉 Dealing with (and benefitting from) criticism
👉 Why we can’t wait for inspiration to strike

Enjoy!
