Never Let Them Define Who You Are

“Sometimes in our industry, our professionalism, we get [put into] silos…it should be all of our goals to break out of those silos. The more you work, the more people want to put you in a silo so they can define who you are by their terms. Our job is to never let anyone define who we are…”

John Jay–W+K’s Global Executive Creative Director–on creativity and breaking out of silos. There’s a lot to learn from these 2 minutes.

        Hey Chase.
        First time I’ve said it bud 🙂
        It’s a Win7 phone. It plays Youtube vids, but not always.

        Haven’t yet figured why it doesn’t play them all the time, but I suspect it’s when they’re embedded into a webpage in a certain way.

        If I have a link then I can watch it directly from the YT pages

        Hope that helps

        Wee update.
        I recently updated my phone OS to 7.1 (mango) and the embedded videos now play 🙂

    This is natural coming from a person of Asian origin. I would like to see more Western artist also think this way.

    The truth it’s hard to find people you think about soul in industry…..but that’s a good thing for the professionals.
