The one that includes the risk that didn’t pay off, the collaboration that cost something, the moment you almost talked yourself out of the thing that mattered most.\nBecause here’s what I believe, and what I suspect our guests know from the inside out:\nWe are created to create.\nNot just artists. Not just designers. Not just the people with the title or the portfolio. All of us carry something that wants to be made — a life, a business, a relationship, a community, a plate of food, a song hummed in the car. The creative impulse isn’t the property of the gifted few. It’s part of what it means to be human.\n(This is part one of a two part series.)\nWilson W. Smith III spent 41 years at Nike. Forty-one years. Inside one of the most iconic creative institutions on the planet, he designed across everything — retail, footwear, architecture, graphics, experience, apparel, brand. He put his hands on product worn and carried by Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Derek Jeter. Names that don’t need last names.\nKerhyl Gantt’s story moves in a different direction — not longer, but deeper. Nike. Amazon. Howard University. The Wharton School. A resume that opens every door. Today she is the founder and creator of Bible Club Jewelry — a brand born from faith, built by hand, worn as a kind of quiet declaration. She is, by her own description, wife, mother, dreamer, builder, believer.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QareCS25_btueW760ljyJFTyfhOkDXR2AgWwUGJ9fMc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZjNm/NWY4MDc1ZWVmNTQx/NzdmNmQyMjU1MGIw/MWEyYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
