When you pause and consider the many ways creativity is expressed, it feels overwhelming and beautiful. Beyond painting, drawing, digital art, and watercolor, there's music, fashion, interior design, and even the world of business and creative problem-solving.  Today's guest, Maria Brito, is in over 13 years deep into the art scene from an indirect and surprising path. From a Harvard graduate to a corporate attorney, Maria is an award-winning, New York-based contemporary art advisor, entrepreneur, author, and curator. She shares how her journey into art is rooted in writing blogs featuring artists, and how that has shaped her journey leading to the release of her first book, Creativity Rules the World, The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold.  Maria takes us deep into the world of art and creativity as it relates to business.   “Creative process is nothing more than your unique ability to come up with ideas of value that are relevant and that you know you can execute.” -Maria Brito  Key areas we explore for artist and creative appreciation:  Focus on the experience of creating and selling your art, not the transaction  Building your art business can be enjoyable, fulfilling, and financially rewarding  There are parallels between your art and the business you are building  “Artists are always attuned to the here and now and expressing that human aspect through their work” -Maria Brito  Maria has turned a career of very little to no freedom as a corporate attorney around into the world of art and appreciation, and now elevates artists, their stories, and their work in a way that allows her to live a much more fulfilling life.  Her book is about making creativity work for your business and recognizing art as the inexhaustible resource it is that is available to everyone in a thriving world.  Connect with Maria Brito:  Instagram  Website  For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/202 ++++++++++++++++++++

“If you want to be a singer, you have to pack up your stuff and forget I'm your mom,” are the words Maria's mom warned. Her mom wanted her to grow up being financially independent, especially coming from Venezuela with limited opportunities. The concept of pursuing creative opportunities wasn't in her cards. It wasn't until Maria was in her 30's that she took a major leap of faith by leaving her well-paid and safe job as a corporate lawyer to follow her creativity and pursue a career in the art world. It's safe to say the risk paid off. Fast forward to the current day, and Maria is an award-winning contemporary art advisor to clients like Gwyneth Paltrow, curator, and author of the new title, How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold. You could say that Maria is a creativity guru with a knack for the intersection of art and business. In this episode, Maria shatters the lies we have been told since childhood about careers in creative fields and how her upbringing of being culturally educated led her to start the career of her dreams. Maria shares how one of the biggest factors she had to overcome was what people were going to say about her once she left her well-paid career as a corporate lawyer to pursue a career in the arts. Maria teaches how to cultivate your creative ideas and turn them into “gold.” This is an episode filled with intelligent and motivating advice on how you can transition to the job of your dreams. *** This episode of LEAVE YOUR MARK is brought to you by Ever/Body, a New-York based cosmetic dermatology business that exists to thoughtfully support every body along their beauty journey.

How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold by Maria Brito About the Book: Learn to make creativity work for your career. Maria Brito illustrates how creativity is merely a series of habits, actions, and attitudes that anyone can develop—regardless of who you are or what you do. There has never been a more crucial time than now to develop your creativity and your ability to innovate. Coming up with original ideas of value is today's most precious skill. Contrary to a myth that has been unfairly perpetuated, creativity can be taught and learned by anyone. How Creativity Rules the World builds the case for creativity as an inexhaustible resource available to everyone and proves that it is the key to thriving in the business world and beyond. With revealing studies and stories spanning business and art, How Creativity Rules The World is a deep dive into history, culture, psychology, science, and entrepreneurship; breaking down and analyzing the elements used by some of the most creative minds throughout the last 600 years. Maria Brito discovered the power of creativity when she transitioned from being an unhappy Harvard-trained corporate lawyer to a thriving entrepreneur and innovator in the art world. She flipped the barrenness around her to emerge as one of the most well-known disruptors in the art world. With this book, you will learn how to: Overcome limiting thoughts and dispel myths about creativity. Unleash creativity through concrete data, historical passages, and examples of modern entrepreneurship. Develop timeless habits, principles, and tools that worked six centuries ago and continue to work today. Employ creativity in an everyday context to produce extraordinary results. After applying the principles in How Creativity Rules the World to her own business, she started teaching them to hundreds of people, ranging from entrepreneurs to artists to CEOs. As evidenced by her students' creative successes, Maria knows that this timeless guide will allow others to strike gold with their ideas. How Creativity Rules the World promises to make the creative process of successful seven-figure artists and billion-dollar entrepreneurs—as well as Maria's own—accessible and actionable for you to take the power of their ideas to the next level.

Key Takeaways It's important for humans to rely on their “superpowers” to invent the future at will. Creativity is the most crucial thing to have in any profession or career. Creativity is all about giving value and being relevant. When you experience failure, it would be helpful if you separate yourself from it. When failure happens, this could help you think that it's just your idea that failed, not you. Silence helps you flourish your creativity. If possible, incorporate a time for yourself in your day-to-day life to develop your creativity. Your brain loves surprises, and this helps you with your creativity. To surprise your brain as part of your creativity enhancement habits: Take a different route on your way to school or work every day. Write with your dominant hand. Try to look for other ways to use everyday objects. When you have time to spare, don't use your GPS when you travel to a place. Aspire not to be stagnant in your life. The most essential things in today's society are ideas. In this day and age, technology drowns creativity. Give yourself a chance to be lost in your life. Optimism, motivation, and creativity are intertwined. Creativity fosters motivation because you do things that you love and believe in. Bring ideas to receptive people if you aim to make a difference. Trust your gut. If it's telling you something, pay attention to what it is. Have some guidance that doesn't come from experience and comes from unknowing. Quotes Creativity isn't just about art. Creativity is in everyone's day-to-day life. - Maria [0:38] Without ideas, there is no progress. - Maria [3:32] When we actually have the power to believe and trust our guts, to go with those ideas, and to open up our imagination, miracles can happen.- Maria [4:07] Connect with Maria Brito Website: https://www.mariabrito.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariabrito_ny  Follow Live Your Personal Best on IG: https://www.instagram.com/liveyourpb/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This is episode is about designing software that enables your vision as an organization to become reality. Although this topic may seem simple, it is a common problem that trips up many projects. Join Andrew and Fahad as they discuss how technology leaders should capture and communicate ideas, approach innovation, and bridge the communication gap that so often exists between engineers and executives. Show NotesHow do we turn our ideas into something tangible, into reality into a valuable asset? We know that 68% 0f all software projects fail, and 70% of executives believe their initiatives are doomed from the start.How Should Technology Leaders Capture Their Ideas? Know the problem first. Explore the problem space completely and understand why it's a problem, and then what opportunities are there to solve that problem.  Knowing the problem first opens multiple avenues and affords opportunities to create a less expensive solution that solves a larger problem.Only move into the solution space once the problem is understood.  Starting in the solution space is easy to do, but doing so may mean that you miss solving for parts of your problem that that was not properly understood at the start.Product vs Project Mindset. A good product life cycle is constantly moving between problem space and solution space. Don't index on things, don't make assumptions, solve for what you know are the issues, and then go back and try to discover the other issues as well. Should Innovation be Incorporated into the Problem Solving Process? No. When you're in the problem space, you should not be thinking about innovation. Innovation is a byproduct of solving a problem.Wayne Gretzky used to say, "skate to where the puck is going to be" and most organizations are not doing that because they are trying to copy what other organizations are doing. Do you try and become SoFi or do you look at where SoFi is going and become that instead?Don't copy innovation, decide if you want to be there, or if they're missing the mark, skate to where you think they should be going, you'll be innovative and market-defining.Understand context. What market are you in? Are you in a leadership position trying to hold on to users or do you understand the problem and are getting out in front of it? What is the best way for technology leaders and executives to communicate ideas? Design and prototypes are powerful because they are quick ways of showing somebody, this is what I interpreted. Now a conversation can take place about what was truly meant. Resources MentionedSoFiWayne Gretzky AppleTeslaFordFacebookTwittermyspaceUber Thanks for listening!

William Childs earned his doctorate in chemistry, then attended law school to become a patent attorney. But he didn't stop there. William founded and runs a virtual IP law firm in Houston, TX, where he helps entrepreneurs turn their innovations and creativity into valuable property their business can own. “Keep learning. One of the things I feel that a lot of entrepreneurs do is they get stagnant. They don't keep up with technology, they don't keep up with changes in their field, they don't keep up with social media and they just get into the grind, they kind of get lost in it. And my experience is you should be constantly challenging everything around you including your own business and constantly learning”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7wO
