It’s 2021. The decade is calling for reinvention... but how do we do that? How do we move from hobbyist-student-interns to leaders making a real difference? And how do we do that from quarantine in the middle of a recession? This is the Creators Calling, a conversation that explores the creativity inside all of us, and how we can use it to spark joy, inspire others and fix the problems that exist in the world today. Join us as we hear from others living in this “new normal” and how they are creating in the new decade.
