When to listen to your parents

Alison Garwood-Jones January 24, 2017

Today on Willful, Ricardo McRae describes: 

• Turning down a placement in business school … for art school.
• When to listen to your parents’ advice, and when to say, “I got this!’
• Combining practical and analytical skills with emotional intelligence.

McRae is a painter, TEDx speaker, and vision activator for Wedge15, the branding agency he co-founded with Gloria Roheim McRae. He is also the founder of Black In Canada and the host of TheFramingPodcast.com.

Willful is the web series that tracks how artists and creative entrepreneurs work, thrive and survive. We interview one artist a week, then post five three-minute snack films from that interview on YouTube every day. 

Follow us here or on our Facebook Page for our entire archive of inspiring interviews.

Thanks, Greg Garson, for inviting us into your beautiful restaurant, The Merchant Taps & Tavern.
