As creatives, we are often our own worst enemies. It’s far too easy to become stuck, believing the labels others have given us. These labels, and the self-limiting beliefs we attach to them, can be difficult to change. The truth is that if we want to be the best versions of ourselves possible, we must find a way to let go of who others think we are and start embracing our creativity. Listen to the...

For some of us, it feels like we were born with our dreams because we’ve known what we want to do with our lives for as long as we could remember. For others, our dreams have evolved over time and experience or even caught us by surprise with an unexpected turn of events in life.

Throughout the course of my career, I've seen how critical mentorship (both 1 on 1 and at scale) is in helping others navigate unfamiliar waters. Sure, experiential learning tends to give the best results, but having benefitted immensely from advice I've received from role models and mentors over the years, I'm always keen to respond to thoughtful and honest questions from you all.
