Creative Careers
ByPublisher Description
Earn a Living Doing What You Love
Featuring insider advice from Daymond John, Karlie Kloss, Tim Ferriss, Randi Zuckerberg, Dave Asprey, Dennis Crowley, Brandon Maxwell, Mauro Porcini, Joy-Ann Reid, Roy Wood Jr., and dozens more!
In one of the most popular classes at Parsons School of Design, B. Jeffrey Madoff gave students a reality check: "Most of us have had the feeling of 'I could've done that,' whether at an art gallery, watching a performance, or finding a new product or even a new business idea. What's the difference between you and them? They actually did it. You didn't." With Creative Careers, you will learn how to do it, too: use your creativity; have a sustainable, profitable career; and do what you love.
Creative Careers pulls from interviews with more than forty experts--notable entrepreneurs, artists, and business leaders--as well as from Madoff's own decades of experience to supercharge your career. Creativity can often feel sporadic and unfocused, coming in bursts and peaks. That's why Madoff focuses your professional path by asking vital questions that will ultimately help you:
- Determine your value
- Be smart about your hustle
- Ruthlessly edit down your creative projects
- Overcome fear and doubt
- Create a successful, long-lasting career on your own terms
You may aspire to join the fashion world, to work in visual arts, or to spearhead a start-up. You may be an executive who leads a creative team, or a professional looking to make a career change. Madoff takes you down an accessible path that will lead to success in any field or endeavor.

2.5
“I found Creative Careers to be an interesting and fresh perspective on a book about business. This book is focused on careers that fall under the title of creating (art, writing, music, etc). Madoff makes some profound suggestions for those still in school with the intention of a career in the arts, like taking accounting classes. I do think that his background in fashion has kept Madoff enclosed in a bubble, and feel like he needed to expand more outside of that industry with his examples and interviews conducted throughout the book. While he has created a fantastic book for those intending to work in fashion, the other artistic and creative careers out there have been poorly represented or neglected completely. As a writer, it is difficult for me to feel that the suggestions and advice are valuable when it is primarily focused on a field that has nothing to do with my work, or is not neutral in its delivery.”
