Transcript excerpt

Unpopular opinion, niching down is killing your reach and your creativity. Every major creative I admire is good at multiple things. We love Pharrell because he creates genre bending music and has impeccable taste that transcends fashion, skin care, and culture. We love Matty Matheson because he's a chaotic and talented chef, but also has unexpected finesse as a restaurateur, actor, and screenwriter in the hit series Tier Bear. And we love Leanne Ford for a scrappy interior design style, but also for her collections with Crate and Barrel, her work designing Buck Mason tier, and her lifestyle magazine. My point is you're not scattered. You're multidimensional. And that wide net is actually more interesting than being really good at one thing. Some people grow by going better, others grow by going wider. You can still build a brand with variety. You just need to be confident with a clear point of view. Dennis Tier, multi passionate creative.
