At 28 years old, I’m the author of two books and an international speaker, and I work closely with some of the biggest names in my industry. None of that was an accident. I attribute my accomplishments to a skillful combination of entrepreneurship and artistry.
Let me begin by noting that I never intended to become an artist, or more specifically, a photographer. My ambitions were more geared to climbing the ranks of corporate America. By the age of 22, I was regional sales manager for an educational firm based in New York City. Two years later, our firm's primary source of income plummeted. I was now 24 and unemployed.
Around that same time, I met a great mentor, also a photographer who introduced me to what I call “creative entrepreneurship.”
