Podcast Episode 22 – Scott Belsky on Making Ideas Happen

Written on July 13, 2010 by Bradford Shimp in Podcast

Scott Belsky is the creative mind behind the Behance network and the 99% Conference. His book, Making Ideas Happens, is a road map for taking ideas out of the creative ether and turning them into something very tangible. You can read my review of the book here.

Scott joins me on the podcast to talk about his book and how small business minded folks can move from idea stage to becoming great leaders of dynamic, idea-driven, companies.

Technical Note: There is some phone static at points during the interview, especially early on. However, the majority of the interview is fine.
