253 - What a Big Idea Looks Like with Joey Ellis
Sometimes I wonder if the secret to having great ideas is just developing the ability to notice them when they show up. I think we all have great ideas from time to time but if we haven’t developed the eye to recognize them, we won’t do what it takes to realize them to their full potential.
In this conversation with my friend author and illustrator Joey Ellis we dive into the big idea that’s being driving his career for the past few years.
Joey’s new book “Wolfie Monster and The Big Bad Pizza Battle” is OUT NOW and it’s FANTASTIC! This graphic novel is GREAT for kids but it’s also just a beautiful book full of phenomenal art!
In this episode we talk about:
The true gift of Jim Henson
How to leap off your creative heroes
Weathering the front lines of critical responses to your work
Staying sane through the rollercoaster of creative careers
How to hold BIG GOALS and little goals in tension for maximum effect
