Thanks, he made some strong points. I transcribed the most relevant part:

  If you don't want to run out of ideas, the best thing to do is not to execute them
  You can tell yourself that you don't have the time or resources to do them right
  Then they stay around in your head like brain crack
  So no matter how bad it gets, at least you have those "good ides" that you'll get to "later"
  Some people get addicted to that brain crack
  and the longer they wait, the more they convince themselves of how perfectly that idea should be executed
  and they imagine it on a beatiful platter with glitter and rose petals
  and everybody is clapping, *for them*
  but the bummer is must ideas kinda suck when you do them
  and no matter how much you plan, you still have to do something for the first time
  and you're almost guaranteed the first time you do something it'll blow
  but somebody who does something bad three times still has 3x the experience of that other person who's still dreaming of all the applause.
  when I get an idea, even a bad one, I try to get it out in the world asap
  cause I certainly do not want to get addicted to brain crack
