“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.

Very well said. Thanks for sharing, Chase!
Wonderful video. Makes me wanna get creative, but is it possible :p
@AJ “This is natural coming from a person of Asian origin…”
What does that mean? Are you saying that people of Asian origin shouldn’t be defined as people of Asian origin?
Great insight, thanks. Here is an idea, how about to make a video database where every photographer would submit his strongest advice on photography business in 15 seconds or so. It would make a great edit of all these advice cramped up in a few minutes or accessible one by one. What do you think?

Great video, thanks for sharing Chase! This is one of the reasons why I love traveling so much – you get to see different cultures, talk to random people, and explore.
