FIRST-TIME-EVER CHALLENGES
The very essence of creative work is exploring white spaces, where both the solution and the problem are unclear.
This aspect combined with the fact that passion, purpose and personality are deeply intertwined with creative work presents a uniquely complex challenge for most entrepreneurs, independents and innovators.
As so much resides in the entrepreneur's head as concepts, visions and ideas, it is also a deeply individual process of untangling, detaching and transforming the abstraction into reality.

A bit more about Brian
In addition to frequent talks at conferences like TEDx and PechaKucha, Brian has shared over 1,000 posts on creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, completing his first book "Awrignawl Creativity" in 2019.
In 2017 he led the creation of PROTO, an innovation game for aspiring founders. He's also the producer of The Rebuild -- a documentary following how entrepreneurs navigated their startups through the early chaos of 2020.
Born in New York and proudly raised in New Jersey, Brian spent 14 in China to drive the dynamic changes that were starting to take hold in the innovation space.
An avid bike-packer, he's cycled the 1200km circumference of Taiwan and is preparing for the next big adventure in Europe. He is currently building a new base in Lisbon, Portugal.
