There are some people I meet who I instantly feel not just a connection with, but true kinship. Todd Henry is one of these people.
I first met him when he interviewed me about my book Escape from Cubicle Nation on his wildly popular podcast, Accidental Creative. I was intrigued by his work with creatives, where he acts, in his words, as an “arms dealer for the creative revolution.” His ideas have inspired people from graphic artists to Hip Hop stars (LL Cool J is a fan, as you can see above).
But I really got to know him when we were both writing our new books for the same publisher (Portfolio) with the same editor (Emily Angell). Our late-night email chats were both inspiring and extremely effective for working through creative blocks.
After being close to Todd’s creative process, I was so excited to read his brand new book Die Empty. I loved it.
In this interview, Todd gives extremely clear, passionate, concrete advice on not only how to get your creative work out into the world, but why it is your obligation to do so. I was shaking my fist in the air during the interview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
