It’s Thanksgiving day here in Canada. What am I grateful for? That I put myself heavily into student loans to go to art school. It was the best decision I ever made.

I had some remarkable instructors when I attended NSCAD University (once upon a time simply referred to as “the Art College”). I vividly remember three things that were said to me during my time at NSCAD; the first two were offhand comments, the third was carefully worded and meant to stick. None of them were said in a business context, but as so often happens, simple, sincere words are more valuable than you realize. These words have served me well as an artist and designer. They’re important marketing lessons, too.
