A word from the author

I hope the wisdom and advice from the amazing people in this book help you take your creativity to a whole new level, both in your career and in your life in general. I wrote the book because I saw the stunning lack of creative role models and a gaping hole in business advice that speaks to creativity. So I hope it propels your success, as you define it. Most of all I wish you luck, because, selfishly, I want to see the creativity you put into the world.
