We recently connected with Vernon Carter and have shared our conversation below.

Vernon, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with education – we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career.

Q: What would you change about the education system to prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career?

A: Creativity ought to be taught and seen as a more lucrative option for young people in pursuing a career path. Although my profession is creative, the ability of a creative mind is at the center of many facets of entrepreneurship, Making it extremely more valuable than it was presented when I was in school. In entrepreneurship, when a CEO has to decide on a new product line, many creative decisions must take place to create marketing, partnerships, and launch details. These unique moments are what resolve obstacles, excel production, and increase sales… Creativity creates legendary brands.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

For folks who may not have read about you before, can you please tell our readers about yourself, how you got into your industry/business / discipline / craft etc, what type of products/services/creative works you provide,

I’m a creative director. For me, that means I’m the guy who makes whatever is needed by way of visual, experiential, and other media come to life in the most striking way possible. The striking part is important to me and this is very involved with the art regarding what’s delivered. You want to have a favor to your work, a taste that is quality but different from the rest. I focus a lot on the emotion of what my work looks and feels like, It needs to be authentic with a stunning quality – Timeless.

At Function Presents, if aren’t creating the best moment, we’re capturing it.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

In going on a path that feels subjective, some people will see the great value in your work while others may not “get it”. In this aspect, whether you sell pottery, pot, or puppets; You must be ready and available to believe – better yet KNOW that you have got something special to offer the world and it is not a matter of proving that possibility but rather a matter of sharing that fact.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

Remain optimistic about going forward with your business, this means you are also taking optimistic action; Making plan, placing yourself in rooms of opportunity, and creating constant possibilities for success to occur. Don’t avoid the mixer events, the photo ops, the speaking engagements, the collaborative meetings, and then say “I don’t know why my business isn’t happening yet”.
