Great conversation about creativity, personal identity, and life in general. A creative career is a challenging one, it’s great to hearing about shared challenges navigating this path.
Lots of takeaways and points for me to reflect upon. Also so interesting to here about other design or UX fields and way of working
I mean, it’s my podcast so I’m going to be biased, but I’m truly honoured to have so many great design leaders and accomplished artists join me for the first season.
I've been waiting for Adam to greenlight this podcast series he's got tremendous insight and thoughtful articulation into the truths of being a creative leader. When I heard this was rolling out I immediately hit follow and am psyched to tune into these conversations. It is important for creatives at the forefront to speak openly and honestly about the challenges especially in the current climate of the creative landscape.
