A. Micah Smith began his career making shirts and posters for his favorite bands and now advises and creates campaigns for global brands like TED, Target, ESPN, and Pepsi. His work has been featured in books, magazines, and most recently on his mom’s refrigerator.
His talk, Quality Control: A Methodology for Meaningful Work, shares a handful of stories from his career that build to one central idea: don’t stress over what you can’t control, rather focus on the quality of what you can.
You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of how to find work that truly resonates with you, inspiration to follow your own path, and maybe even have some fun along the way.
