(My guest) Anne Morningstar, is a smart, kind, and deep human. And this was the kind of conversation that stretches you. Expands your mind to think with new language and relate it to your own beliefs, and come up smiling.
She shares her journey as a time-based creative and how her classic fine arts training in animation translates to and informs her intentional work with the customer experience on her family's organic farm and her role as a professor of art and design. And how we can limit ourselves with expectations, our own or others.
Midway through she shares this moving exercise that she has her Art and Design students do to start to unearth their mission or purpose. (Yes! An exercise to go deep...perfect! So grab a BIG piece of paper and pencil and then share what you come up with!)
And then, our conversation comes to a sweet and vulnerable end with Anne sharing her heart in her wish for everyone. It's an hour well spent!
Take a listen my friend and let me know what you thought!
