Welcome back to "Creative Leadership With Heart." I'm your host, Rico Nasol, and today we have a very special guest joining us, design maestro Leonard Samuels, the visionary behind Zadie Creative. In this episode, we're delving into Leonard's inspiring journey from humble beginnings to becoming a beacon of diversity and innovation in the creative industry.

As we explore Leonard's educational path from Cal State Northridge to the influential experiences in New York, we'll uncover the challenges he faced as a person of color in Hollywood and his incredible rise to founding his own agency. He'll share his early professional struggles, his encounters with tokenism, and how pivotal experiences and personal losses shaped his pursuit of authentic representation.
