Do you prefer Bradley or Brad?
“I prefer Brad. It is only one syllable and takes .5 seconds less time to say and 3 less keystrokes. When I hear Bradley, I automatically think I am in trouble …thanks Mom.”
Favorite movie of all time?
“That goes without saying, 2001 A Space Odyssey! Isn’t that everybody’s favorite? I can go on for hours about it.” But then there is Jaws. Oh, and Blade Runner,… and Alien lol.

From his point of view…
Creativity is not your talent! What comes before talent are things far more important and valuable:
- The ability to listen. Too many creatives love to hear themselves talk.
- Be relentless. Keep searching for the next big idea; it is a chase that never ends.
- Think like a kid. Never grow up! Color outside the lines, look at things upside down.
- Always be curious. Never stop. This will make you better and better.
- Curb your ego. We are never as good as we think we are. Keep a leash on it.
- Be humble. Learn from others and take responsibility for your mistakes.
- Instill excitement. Paint the verbs, not the nouns.
- Imagination amplifies reality, always remember that.
So creativity is actually not a talent. It comes from and develops from more than one action. The talent you have now and the talent you will have in the future is all up to you.
