Rebels That Break Things take creators of all types on a soulful journey of finding their place in the world as imperfect beings. Poetic. Surprising. Thick with life lessons. Ford explores the potent forces that shape artists and creatives throughout their lives. The act of bringing ideas into existence can be profound, but how to deal with the emotional roadblocks along the way? How to establish a visionary voice that stands out in a crowd?
Ultimately, blazing a trail as a creator comes down to the moments. How artists handle the tough moments of human experience. How creatives craft memorable moments that elevate their impact. The book's first half focuses on weathering life's storms, while the second covers boldly doing your own thing. The origin stories of maestro artisans and Ford's story humanize the act of breaking the mold. Writing assignments deepen the experience, culminating in True North work that is life-altering. Tangible. Authentic.
