Hi Valeria,

 

What a nice iniative!

 

One of the people I love listening to about how to succed in creative fields, from graphic design, branding, typography and other is Chris Do from The Futur.

 

Looking forward to see some other interesting people in the comments.

 

What is yours?

 

Thanks

I have been reading Liz's columns, conversations with, and recommendations to working professionals for years and think she can make a great contribution to Upwork - although she may also tell you internally that the platform's "recruitment specialist" processes are deeply broken. 

I think it would be cool to hear from the author of Atomic Habits, James Clear. 

 

Or Atul Gawande, author of The Checklist Manifesto [he used checklists to significantly improve surgical outcomes worldwide]

 

Or Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a **bleep**, which I think would be beneficial for many freelancers to learn. : )

Most admire in some abstract sense: Seth Godin. Probably trite to say it, but I never fail to have an aha! moment when listening to him give a new presentation. Not sure he'd do it, and not sure he's in-budget, but he is a delight.

 

Would most like to hear, if you were concocting a little treat (or maybe a virtual re-treat?) for us: tie between Sean D'Souza (Psychotactics), Becky McCray & Deb Brown (Save Your Town etc.), and Jon Acuff. Have been a loyal reader/ listener of all of them for many years and they're all still delivering fresh goods.

Nice initiative!

 

My preferences are pretty simple: I cannot help listening to anyone else than my brilliant Head of Marketing. 🤪

What is it with you and coconuts? Please elaborate. And no, just living in an exotic location isn't enough.

Martina, what are you asking? 😳

 

I don't have a thing about coconuts. It's not because of me. 🙄

 

Coconuts are the thing! 😜

 

See for yourself on YouTube: "coconut is not a nut" (Can't post the link here, I guess.) It's my kid's suggestion for my theme song... as I already have a sidekick. 🤪
