Different Drummer: Bold Thinking for the Rebellious Creative

Way upstream in the formation of culture and ideas and beliefs are the creatives the rule-breakers, the misfits, the outsiders.

These people make stories and songs and social good start-ups that shape the imagination. AMC's TV series, Paramount s blockbuster film, the new Kenneth Cole ad along Hudson Parkway, the latest bestselling book or trending article or impact investment these are informing beliefs and behaviors far more than the next Senate bill or C-SPAN speech ever could. The genius behind these and any transformative work is the creative spark to do it differently and the passion to make a real impact.

It's time to stop slushing around in the mud looking for gold nuggets, doing what has been done; it doesn't work out that well for most. The ones who really make an impact (and happen to earn a lot as a result) are the ones who think and plan and do things differently, who keep their eyes glued to a different objective.

The purpose of this booklet is to empower the doers and dreamers of the world to pursue a higher vocation, one defined by transformative creativity and focused determination. It's for the outsider whose conviction to do things differently is waiting to be unleashed. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a graphic designer, a policy maker, a c-suite exec, or something in between, Different Drummer will show you how "different" makes all the "difference.""
