Darius Kazemi shares his experience of releasing 72 side projects in one year, explaining the role of luck and volume in creative success.
Most people are lucky if they finish a couple side projects in a year. Last year, Darius Kazemi released 72, averaging one every five days. His projects fall under what he calls “weird internet stuff” — bots that generate random Amazon purchases, surreal metaphors, rap battle lyrics, pickup lines, and everything in between. In "How I Won the Lottery," Darius explains how he became a successful lottery player, and with hard work and a little luck, how you can too. Recorded in September 2014 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love.

Highly recommended for its realistic take on survivorship bias and how to approach side projects by focusing on volume.
