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.
