We talk to creators, entrepreneurs, and brilliant humans about their journey to create meaning in work.
In this episode of Never Work a Day, we sit down with legendary creative thought leader James Victore — the artist, designer, and renegade educator known for pushing people to live boldly and create with purpose. Described as “part Darth Vader, part Yoda,” James has spent his career helping others find clarity, courage, and their true creative voice. From apprenticing under Paul Bacon at 23, to exhibiting at MoMA and the Louvre, to working with global brands like Adobe, MailChimp, Bobbi Brown, and The New York Times — James’ journey is a masterclass in choosing yourself and making a living doing what you love. We dive into his philosophy, his rebellious design ethos, his teaching years at SVA, his move to small-town Texas, and the dangerous ideas behind his life-changing book Feck Perfuction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone craving creative freedom, personal truth, and a reminder that your voice is your superpower.
