We Are Created to Create - with Wilson Smith III and Kerhyl Gantt
<p><strong>Today we’re going to talk about creativity</strong> — but not the polished version.<br>We want the unfiltered one. The one that includes the risk that didn’t pay off, the collaboration that cost something, the moment you almost talked yourself out of the thing that mattered most.<br>Because here’s what I believe, and what I suspect our guests know from the inside out:<br>We are created to create.<br>Not just artists. Not just designers. Not just the people with the title or the portfolio. All of us carry something that wants to be made — a life, a business, a relationship, a community, a plate of food, a song hummed in the car. The creative impulse isn’t the property of the gifted few. It’s part of what it means to be human.<br>(This is part one of a two part series.)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Wilson W. Smith III</strong> spent 41 years at Nike. Forty-one years. Inside one of the most iconic creative institutions on the planet, he designed across everything — retail, footwear, architecture, graphics, experience, apparel, brand. He put his hands on product worn and carried by Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Derek Jeter. Names that don’t need last names.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Kerhyl Gantt’s</strong> story moves in a different direction — not longer, but deeper. Nike. Amazon. Howard University. The Wharton School. A resume that opens every door. Today she is the founder and creator of Bible Club Jewelry — a brand born from faith, built by hand, worn as a kind of quiet declaration. She is, by her own description, wife, mother, dreamer, builder, believer.</p>
