This is especially true when you have a guest who has interviewed over 400 of the world\u2019s most creative people \u2013 & who happens to be one of the most inventive people on the planet herself. Debbie Millman is an author, educator, brand strategist & Chief Marketing Officer at Sterling Brands, where she has worked with over 200 of the world\u2019s largest brands. Fast Company magazine named her one of the most creative people in business & one of the most influential designers working today. She\u2019s also the host of the Design Matters podcast, one of the longest running shows of its kind that\u2019s been downloaded over 40 million times. Design Matters is a show about how the most creative people invent their lives. And one consistent theme that\u2019s emerged is that no matter how talented & hard working they all are, they\u2019ve had to overcome often monumental setbacks & hardships in order to succeed. No one gets off easy is a helpful reminder for us all. Debbie has a new book out called \u201cWhy Design Matters: Conversations With The World\u2019s Most Creative People,\u201d which features many of her most interesting interviews. And the luminaries she\u2019s had sit down with her include Bren\u00e9 Brown, Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, Krista Tipppett, Ira Glass, David Byrne, Malcolm Gladwell, Cheryl Strayed, Anna Lamott, Adam Grant & Daniel Pink. After producing 80 episodes of my own podcast, I can tell you I\u2019ve been fully transformed by all I\u2019ve learned from my guests. And I invited Debbie to join us full-knowing in advance that the wisdom she\u2019s gleaned from her five times as many conversations would be invaluable for you to hear. And, as it turns out, Debbie has some rather sage insights on leadership to share as well","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/debbie-millman-wisdom-from-the-worlds-most-creative-people\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/debbie-millman-wisdom-from-the-worlds-most-creative-people\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/debbie-millman-wisdom-from-the-worlds-most-creative-people\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Debbie-Millman-1000.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Debbie-Millman-1000.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/debbie-millman-wisdom-from-the-worlds-most-creative-people\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Debbie Millman: Wisdom From The World\u2019s Most Creative People"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/","name":"Mark C.
