Visual Artist Jack speaks on navigating through the noise to find your artistic voice.

Instead of overcomplicating and overanalyzing, Jack makes the case for simplicity— maybe your best creative ideas aren’t found in the wilderness retreat but through drives, showers, washing dishes, and breathing. In stepping back from mental clutter, we are able to create out of wholeness: “Simplicity creates space for your brain to think clearly.”

About the speaker

As a child, Jack spent most of his time at the beach, his family possessing a deep-rooted connection to the ocean, and surfing in particular.
