James Victore

“The things that made you weird as a kid, make you great today.” “You become who you pretend to be.” “Freedom is something you take.” “Kill your phone.” “Stop deprecating all over yourself.” “Love something other than your selfie.” That’s not your Id talking, that’s James Victore. Actually those are the titles of just a few of the subchapters in Victore’s new book Feck Perfuction: Dangerous Ideas on the Business of Life. James first got famous for his in-your-face politically arresting design work. Now he’s out to shock us with in-your-face talk about our creative lives.

On this episode Victore talks to Debbie about leading a creative life. “If we look at our childhood, you’ve done the work already. We’re born wildly creative. We don’t need to develop it, we just need to recall it.”
