Three things a 30-year creative career teaches you about staying relevant:
✍️ Build toward timeless, not trending. The artists common grew up studying, artists like Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Nina Simone, didn't chase what was popular. He didn't either.
✍️ Guard your recharge time like a work asset. Morning quiet, movement, gratitude…his creative output depends on them. Your team's probably does too.
✍️ Know when a strategy has given everything it can. Treat it like a relationship: learn from what didn't work, and move forward sharper.
