Nick de la Canal asks the question: Can we hack Serendipity in our creative pursuits?
On Friday, May 12 at Warehouse 242, over 300 creative Charlotteans came together to hear a familiar voice: that of NPR/WFAE reporter Nick de la Canal. Nick bravely took on our global theme of “Serendipity" – exploring its role in news reporting, journalistic storytelling, and in his own craft, career and life. As you’ll hear, Nick suggests that luck may be an overrated element in the professional creative journey; perhaps we should be more focused on our preparedness, optimism and voluminous output.
