Each topic gathers the lessons on one subject from across the master classes, so you can hear several legends on the question you came with.

One started as a receptionist’s fill-in, one wrote a five-page letter to get hired, one learned early what he did not want. These lessons are the career stories behind the work, with exercises to define your own creative philosophy.
