Well, that's just sort of the tip of the iceberg with my guest this week.
James Victoria, who went to the School of Visual Arts in New York, dropped out midway through.
But he didn't drop out of the profession of creating provocative designs that would go out into the world and make huge change in the scope of culture, society, corporations, and even have shows ending up in MoMA and in the permanent collection of the Louvre while also simultaneously running his own design firm.
This is the journey of James, and we track this incredible journey.
We touch down into the early days, the midpoints, the big moments of awakening, and also what led him to write his latest book, Feck Perfection, which is sort of a creative life's manifesto.
It is really powerful, really funny, really irreverent, and also really poignant.
And we dive into some of the ideas from that as well.
Super excited to share this conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
So by the time I was five years old, I'd lived in five different places.
Gotta, gotta.
Got it on the bases.
Yeah.
Bases all around the country.
My mom moved three kids on her own in a dodge station wagon across the country.
Twice, man.
These are the people who raised me.
Yeah.
But we ended up when I was five in upstate New York, Plattsburgh, New York.
