As I’ve progressed along my creative path and become a person whom other aspiring photographers ask to serve as their own mentor, I’ve come to reali...

The world would have you believe that creativity is an indulgence. “Get a real job” or “find something you’re good at” are a few common phrases that get thrown around.

We are reminded to always focus on the positive, push negative thoughts away from our memory and only focus on moving forward. But when used correctly, regret can play a pivotal role in our ability to move forward, to prob...

Is it always the best decision to trust your gut? When it’s time to make a simple decision, (where to eat, what car to buy, where to go on vacation) we rely on resources and data at our disposal.

Am I working on the right things? Is my career on the right path? What would our lives look like if we took a data driven ...

As creators, we often place a large emphasis on our workspace. Sometimes it might even block us from doing any creative work at all. Of course, a large, airy, well-lit work space of your own—preferably with an ocean view—would be ideal. But highly productive artists everywhere hunker down to work in cafés, restaurants, co-working spaces, parks, empty college classrooms, and waiting rooms—not to mention buses, trains, subways, and planes. A huge part of one’s early endeavors—whether you’re pickin...
