Morgan Harper Nichols: Poet Whose Vulnerability Went Viral

unproductive by daydreamers

Morgan Harper Nichols is a poet, painter, artist, and musician who created two #1 best-selling books and amassed over 1.2 million Instagram followers. But, even though Morgan has crafted this creative career all before the age of 30 (seriously - she’s 29!), don’t let that fool you. Morgan is still one of the most grounded, humble and vulnerable people we’ve ever met.

Think of this conversation as a big, virtual hug. During our chat with Morgan, she takes us through her childhood as a homeschooled kid who always felt “other” to her musical career that left her feeling unfulfilled - all the way to her big Aha moment: when she realized that her first love, writing, could be her life’s work all along.

Join us for our first (un)productive chat where we dive deep - we talk about how to tuning into your true self, what it’s like to “go viral” and build a sustainable career off of it, and why our creativity will never fail us.

Some stuff we also cover:

• Seeing failure up close - and turning it into inspiration
  
• What it’s like to work in the music industry
  
• What happens when you “go viral”
  
• How Morgan turned her creative work into a career
  
• Inspiration for when you feel like you’re not sure what your direction is
  
• The creative practices Morgan suggests to build in your free time
