His core beliefs are...
EMBRACE AMBIGUITY
Advertising is a mix of business, art, science, anthropology, sociology, and psychology. Jumping into its abyss to connect the dots that lead to creative ideas is the most addictive thing. You have to love the whole process, and you have to embrace ambiguity, abstract, and unpredictability.
NEVER STOP EXPLORING
His love for the planet Earth deepened through his travels as he has explored almost every corner of it. "Never Stop Exploring" is a tagline of one of his favorite brands, The North Face. How he sees it - Never stop exploring within your mind, within your heart, and within this beautiful planet Earth!
ALWAYS BE LEARNING
Today is the slowest day of technological change we will ever witness. The pace is relentless. To keep up with this pace, you always have to be learning. From Coursera, Udemy, podcasts and blogs to IDEO and Section4 - this is his Netflix.
MAKE THINGS BETTER
As he moved up in his career, he realized that everything comes to one thing - influence. Influence to make things better, to make ideas better, to help people become better, and to make everything better.
JUST DO IT
Be the best that you can be, and always do what's right. Don't ask for permission, don't look for excuses - just do it! The more you do it, the better you will be. Day by day, project by project.
