A short while ago I had the great pleasure of taking the stage at the Seattle Interactive Conference with my dear friend and creative superstar Cal Mcallister (Founder, Wexley School for Girls + Paper Crane Factory) for a very pointed conversation on inspiration, unlocking your best creative work, and how the eff to stand out in today’s noisy, crowded market. Hint: it’s not what you think.
A sample of other topics we cover….
- Why “the middle” (aka where everybody ends up gravitating because they listen to “advice” and “best practices”) is the WORST place you can be to make your way in any creative industry.
- Why the best stuff happens on the fringe- and how you can tap into that fringe.
- Why “creative cockroach” is a term of endearment. Like the cockroach, simply outlasting the quitters — stamina and persistence –is key to success. I don’t know anyone who has been successful over a sustained amount of time that didn’t have stamina.
- How to charge and get paid what you’re worth. Free or full price, not some arbitrary amount that the client offers you
- and finally… audience Q & A that we alllll can relate to 😉
