Tech Bubble Burnout to Creative Breakthrough (ft. Ed Vince)
What happens when the career you were told to pursue leaves you empty? Artist Ed Vince, who held senior roles at companies like Apple and Facebook, shares his candid journey from the peak of the tech bubble to a profound personal 'breakthrough'. We explore the unsustainable chase for external validation and the desperate attempts to find internal consistency through intense wellness practices. Ed discusses how art became his path to true purpose and flow, allowing him to create with the joy of a child by taking discarded materials and transforming them with care, reflecting on how we must also care for ourselves and others.
Ed Vince is a London-based sculptor and artist. Responding to his extensive background as an advertising Creative Director, his work critically examines consumer culture and proposes that discarded elements can be reimagined with renewed significance and purpose.
