At our FIFTH birthday party, we asked eleven of our past New York speakers to grace the stage again and give up their best advice either given or received.
Liz Danzico, Oliver Jeffers, Maria Popova, Kelli Anderson, Allan Chochinov, Jason Santa Maria, and Jessi Arrington spoke in person, while Steven Heller, Paola Antonelli, Debbie Millman, and Simon Sinek (who unfortunately couldn’t join us in person) sent in videos with their best advice for the audience.
Our fantastic videographer Ben Hallman has just edited and uploaded their advice—eleven wonderful (and short!) pieces of advice from some of the most influential and inspiring designers, thinkers, and makers alive today.
