Show Notes

In this episode, Steven Morris discusses:

  • The role and responsibility of designers and creatives
  • Leading with awareness and authenticity
  • Experiencing vulnerability and doing meaningful work
  • How business should impact others 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Creatives have a greater responsibility to understand the impact they have on the people they influence. 
  • Giving yourself a licence to be seen as a Human is a beautiful way to be a leader. 
  • Vulnerability doesn’t get easier, but it gets easier to recognize the value and the courage it takes to be vulnerable. 
  • A beautiful business is one that has a clear idea of what they’re about and people who are part of it and interact with it feel seen, supported valued. 



"Vulnerability doesn’t necessarily get easier… I want to be vulnerable more because I see the value of what that vulnerability can get me to." —  Justin Ahrens
