Bill Hermann, host of Creative License, discusses a common mindset among DJs and many other people who hesitate to try new things. He identifies that the frequent excuse of "practicality" for not taking on new tasks, learning new techniques, or experimenting with new equipment is misleading. According to Bill, practicality is often used as a disguise for fear. People say they won’t try something new because "it’s not practical," but underneath, they are afraid of failure, embarrassment, or the unknown.
Bill explains that this fear manifests as not seeing the end result clearly and thus avoiding action. The brain equates the possibility of failure to danger—similar to life-threatening situations, such as jumping off a cliff or being hit by a bus. This evolutionary response causes one to avoid risks, but in creative or professional contexts, it leads to missed opportunities.
He emphasizes that fear is the real barrier, not practicality. Recognizing and naming this fear is the first step toward overcoming it. When people say, "I'm too practical," what they really mean is, "I'm afraid." Bill encourages listeners to:
Acknowledge their fear openly.
Question their fear by asking, "And now then what?" to push beyond the paralysis it causes.
Understand that failure is not fatal. It is simply a setback that can be analyzed and learned from.
Persist through repeated attempts, learning from mistakes until success is achieved.
Bill stresses that many ideas people hesitate to try will not cause harm or embarrassment; they are simply avoided due to fear disguised as realism. He advises not to let fear—masked as practicality—stop creative or personal growth. Ultimately, the choice to act despite fear lies with the individual.
