From the island of Guam , Richard is an engineer/designer and now co-founder at Bettersum. He’s building the marketing tool Supercopy because he believes we should communicate to people in the manner they want to be communicated to.

Richard chatted with us about the mandate of creative outputs and how our quick-to-commercialize economy has perhaps skewed our engagement with the joy of learning and sharing as a community. As a serial entrepreneur, his combination of generosity and boldness have positioned him to repeatedly challenge prevailing assumptions about the bifurcation of “design” and “STEM” through building approachable tech solutions that live at the intersection of code + culture. He’s currently building an AI tool for marketing professionals called SuperCopy. Join us to hear why apprenticeships beat entry-level jobs any day and why a trip to the gym an hour before midnight was the best part of the weekend.

For many expressive folks, our productivity is divergent. It doesn’t fit a 9-5 routine or trendy coaching tips. And yet! Many of us find unique ways to produce–creatively–while also thriving in the commercial world.  How I Create Me hosts conversations with these remarkable humans.  We’re gonna chat about how we craft our personal and professional selves. How we build identities and skills.

We think they deserve attention. We carry them through life, but sometimes, if we’re lucky, they also carry us.

It can be discouraging to consume business-oriented content. It’s usually laden with pithy advice that doesn’t apply. And there’s a frustrating spectrum of opinions. We’re told to stay true to our idiosyncrasies, profits, and performance reviews be damned. We’re told to rein it in if consumers or corporations aren’t buying our personal brand.

So, as we mitigate these tensions, instead of “one-size fits all” tips and tricks, we’ll be sharing: 

👉 Distinct stories from our creative journeys

👉 Impediments we’ve overcome--or are still wrestling with today

👉 Insights we’ve gathered along the way

There will be some quirky questions. And you’ll get to know us better as the remarkable humans we are…

I hope you’ll join us.  Together, we can find resonance in each others’ stories. We can find the courage to keep going--or the wisdom to try something different.

So come get amongst it.  Join the HICM Family at HowICreate.Me.
