Jonathan interviews Scott Belsky, founder of Behance and currently Adobe's Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President of Creative Cloud, and only asks him questions that were sent in by you, the listener! Just kidding, Jonathan selfishly asks Scott questions about building a business and about leadership, because those are the ones most relevant to Jonathan’s current role as a CEO. But he does throw in a product question at the end. So there’s at least one question for everyone! 😝
Here’s how the interview goes in broad strokes:
Jonathan gushes over Scott Belsky. 😍
Scott Belsky on building Behance. 👷
How to keep people motivated. EMPATHY! 😌
The line between life and work. 💼
The lows & highs of creating a business & the importance of self-awareness during both. 📈
What do you do when you get the feeling that it’s not going to work out? When do you know when to quit? It’s all about conviction. 🤓
How to deal with distractions? 💩
Who shouldn’t read the Messy Middle? 🛑 📖
What’s more important, ideas or execution? ✨
A book within a book! 🧐
