ESSAYS

Introduction

Over the years, Follow Your Dream has grown beyond interviews into a broader exploration of creativity and the creative journey.

These essays draw upon lessons learned from more than 750 conversations with musicians, authors, actors, photographers, poets, directors, and other creative artists from around the world. Rather than focusing on individual guests, they seek to identify the larger themes, patterns, and ideas that connect creative lives and artistic achievement.

Together, they represent an ongoing effort to better understand creativity, perseverance, curiosity, success, and the many paths artists take in pursuit of meaningful work.
