Richard Branson: Lessons in Business and Life

If there’s anyone qualified to lay out the blueprint for dreaming big, living life on your own terms and turning your passions into your career, it’s the iconic Sir Richard Branson.

The “OTHER 50%” you’re missing = how to build your network + community

If you're wondering how to build your network & create community around your work, here's the no bullshit answer: Do the Work. Creating something and putting it out there is just the beginning.

Sir Mix A Lot: Everybody Has A Calling

Everybody has a calling. If you open your eyes, there’s a maker instinct in you. For Sir Mix-A-Lot, creativity manifested in the form of rabid love for music in general and for hip-hop in particular. Cobbling together an immortal career first out of cast-off electronics and then out of platinum records, Mix was never concerned with success when he started out. He simply kept doing what he felt called to do - make music that... read more ›

Unleash Your Inner Genius [#cjRAW with Michael Meade]

Unleash the Genius In You
We've come to reserve the word GENIUS only for the top percent of society, a special gifted few. But the truth is, there is genius in all of us. What we really need to do is find it and let it out.

Comfort Is the Enemy of Purpose: How to Pursue Life-Changing Risk

There is no force as powerful as pursuit. It’s a gritty daily grind — but it’s the only way to find out what you’re capable of. Twenty years ago, I ditched medical school and bailed on a PhD in Philosophy to pursue my own calling to become a photographer. Amidst a bunch of head-scratching and doubt from my family and peers, I abandoned a known outcome to dedicate my life to making art. This quest... read more ›

Come to think of it, perhaps I'll find an even better title... [Done.] Experience tells me that non-photographers, or amateur photographers often have an idyllic view of the life of a professional photographer. It's all romping around with a pricy camera, with hot models in... read more ›
