Great inspiration!  Partial transcript of Joe Rogan & Bryan Callen on Haters and Inspiration at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o4O3U220GE&feature=share

“The beautiful thing about technology is you can spend your time listening to music and reading about what Lady Gaga wore to the gym, or you can open your mind to a whole world out there.  See someone doing something well and be inspired by them. It’s supposed to inspire you. If you open yourself up to something beautiful and great and let that really be effective, be astonished by it, be scared by it, whatever it takes, you will find way more strength in that surrender to The Beautiful than you will when you close yourself off.  All of us, all of us  have this notion to go “F**k this, I’m closing myself off from this…  In order to be a real man or a real woman, you have to earn the whole thing.  And the crazy thing is that, to be The Man, to get to that point, to BE The Man, you have to literally never NOT EVEN POSSIBLY be the man because you have to get to the zen state of “there is no The Man,” it’s all about the work, what genius you’re putting out, whether it’s music, whether it’s writing, whatever it is, it’s about finding that Real, Pure Place so there is NEVER The Man.  That’s when the muse kicks in, the idea of this all comes from Somewhere else, it’s like maybe it is just an attitude that allows you to bypass the ego. “
