Along the way, Maurice shares candid insights about restlessness, growth, and learning to trust that different chapters of a career can belong together.</p><p>Throughout the episode, Maurice connects art-making and leadership, drawing from his doctoral work focused on the leadership philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his Yale seminar, Art Making and Leadership: An Integrative Approach.
