Description

In this conversation, I chat with writer, photographer, and community builder Lindsey Lerner to explore the launch of her year-long project Field Notes from the Work and the Wild. Lindsey shares how her background in anthropology, photography, and storytelling informs her work documenting the often-overlooked process behind our creativity.


We chat about :




  • The origins of Field Notes and her drive to celebrate everyday work, not just the big wins




  • Lessons from a decade of working in the music industry 




  • Art in business




  • What it means to find your creative flow, and 




  • The role of community in shaping meaningful work




Lindsey even opens up about the realities of pursuing creative projects alongside practical survival work, launching a GoFundMe to support her field year, and her hopes for bringing people together across geographies and disciplines.
