SUMMARY:SXSW Book Signing: '60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey'
DESCRIPTION:I’ve learned countless lessons during my decade-plus creative journey. Some were common sense\, “live-and-learn” type experiences\, while others came as a direct result of thinking I had a good idea… and falling flat on my face. \nOne night\, I opened a blank document\, and I began to compile a list of the most important ones\, based on the experiences that forged me into a better creative professional. Before I knew it\, I had few dozen… and I added about a dozen more\, for good measure! \nThese 60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey come loaded with anecdotes — whether painful\, inspiring\, and/or hilarious — from 11+ years building a multimedia and educational platform for independent musicians. The lessons contained within are independent of industry; they apply to anybody with the courage to step out and “build the thing” — no matter what your “thing” is!
