DesignCast is a series of conversations exploring the creative industry in the Caribbean and African communities. Driven by curiosity and the need to answer common questions creatives face, it offers fresh perspectives and real solutions. Through interviews with creative professionals, we aim to bring clarity to our experiences and inspire a greater design future for Caribbean and African creatives.
Everyone, even the most successful entrepreneurs have faced their share of challenges. It is in those moments of having to face these challenges when we are truly tested. Creatives, we are no different and we get tested (especially on Mondays) through the expectations of our clients, ourselves and in our talent. In these times we may be faced with the most difficult questions:
"Do I keep going?”
“Is it time to move on?”
“How can I move past this obstacle?”
“How can I look at this in another way?”
We have all heard that perseverance is the key to achieving your goals, but is this just something nice to say or is there real truth to it? Simon Bowden, Art Director, Musician, Martial Artist, an all around creative, gives us some perspectives on the business of perseverance and how he has built his perseverance muscle.
