67 | A conversation on growing into your creativity, being tall, giving back, and finding your comfort zone. With Jody Collins

This week, Margo is joined by Jody Collins of Feral Giant. Feral Giant is a collective of brand developers, designers, illustrators, photographers, videographers, social media strategists, writers, digital marketers, podcasters, and website designers to which Jody brings 25+ years experience. At the age of 13 he started in printing and continued with design and branding experience through a multitude of companies. A severance plan led him to testing the waters in creative entrepreneurship and he hasn’t looked back since. In addition to serving clients, Jody has also sat on over 30 non-profit Board of Directors and Executive Committees.

Margo and Jody chat about:

  • How his youth plays into his the many things he advocates for today like wealth and equality

  • Why sometimes creativity isn’t necessarily about having your own unique style but rather being adaptable to someone else’s vision

  • Mental health

  • What their ultimate creative days would look like respectively

  • The timeless advice he received from his grandfather just before he passed away

  • How to stand out in a crowd

  • Allowing yourself to be multifaceted and to have fun with it

  • And so much more!
