Branding...branding... is what I'm hearing. At age 60, I'm dead tired of it. Ready to hear some real stuff.
One of those other panelists could have taken your thoughts and helped with the cracking open of the real life, real world.
Your answer was real. It is life. It is regrets. It is about how we, as artists/creatives can choose to live. How we can lose sight of things.
I love the photo of your dad and your son. It's tough to live with regrets--we DO need to go on. I'd be willing to bet that's what your dad might have said too, or wished for you.
But damn, it's refreshing to hear something REAL.
I don't like regret; but it gives us something to guide our future and choices. Here's to that.
And thank you for sharing this significant reminder... of what it's all about.
