"The spirit of 'Try That' is to try something that you've been putting off for some reason," Solomone said. “One of my favorite pieces of advice to give people is to take on projects that are slightly above their current skill level. I'm sure there can be a lot of problems with this project, but you can usually get by. And I think that's a good way to develop yourself.
