Ben Burns is the digital director of Blind and is instrumental in creating The Futur alongside Chris Do. If you haven’t heard of The Futur they are creating phenomenal educational materials for creative professionals. In this interview episode of Getting Work To Work, Ben and I talk about his journey from design school to being a veteran and Narcotics Agent, how being a non-creative sparked his creative career, and how fear is holding you back in growing your creative business. Ben also shares his excitement for Nerf guns and yes, I bought one after this episode.
