Today I’m sharing my conversation with Chris Burkard, a prolific photographer, explorer, and author. Chris has spent the last 15 years turning himself into a go-to content creator for the likes of National Geographic, Apple, Patagonia and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies and notable publications. Needless to say, he’s racked up a few insights over the years when it comes to deconstructing what it takes to become successful creative. Chris and I explore the empathy, what it means to create a guiding vision, the importance of diversity of thought, and how to recession proof your business. Grab your notebook, you may want to jot a thing or two down. Before we dive in, I want to let you know about a new organization that’s creating massive impact in the current pandemic crisis we’re facing. As you probably know, healthcare workers are currently facing a dire shortage of masks, gloves, and other personal protective equipment. In short, they are fighting for our lives, so we need to protect theirs. If you have, make, or want to request PPE, go to GetUsPPE.org and find out how you can get involved. Thanks guys, appreciate your help.  Lastly, if you like what you’re hearing here - please share it with a friend or someone who might find it valuable.
