"I just keep pushing and I don't take no for an answer". Graphic designer and renowned artist Alex Proba sat down with us and shared her artistic journey, seeking to inspire potential artists who don't know how to get started. Growing up in a family of doctors, Alex initially thought that she would take on a career in dentistry. However, just as she was about to attend dental school, she realized this is not where her interests lie. Aiming to study graphic design and interior architecture, Alex traveled to her high school host family in Ohio and busted out her portfolio in only two weeks. Flash forward, Alex has worked as an Art Director for brands such as Kickstarter and NIKE and a Design Director for Mother New York. However, after juggling the typical workdays for years, she felt it was now or never to turn her Studio Proba business into her full-time gig. Alex's story is not only one that will inspire you to become your own boss but shows how influential the people around us can be.

'The Sensitive Leader'. We've added a weekly theme focus. This week we're looking at Empathy. You'll find more of our thinking on empathy here. This episode is my conversation with Alain Sylvain - the founder of Sylvain Labs - an innovation and brand design consultancy. Sylvain Labs is 8 years old and describe their tools as science and whimsy. Their client roster is diverse, from Google to Nike. From Chobani to GM. Before starting his own company, Alain was the managing director of Redscout and a lead strategist at Mother New York. He creates and invests in new products, works closely with HELP, a merit- and needs-based scholarship program, the Global Poverty Project and the Lower East Side Girls Club. And sits on the board of VCU’s Brandcenter. And he thinks deeply about how the work he does affects the people that make it and the people that experience it.
The move from CCO at a huge network to CCO at a small shop (with an actual kitchen in the middle). Also, on being different and knowing yourself.
