Following your dreams correctly is nothing but hard work.

-Brandon Stanton, on the realities of creative entrepreneurship

In 2010, Brandon Stanton started taking pictures of people on the streets of New York City and posting them on a blog. After thousands of conversations and pictures, Brandon realized he wasn’t a photographer. Rather, he was a believer in connection, in community, and in basic human sweetness. In large part, Brandon’s work has been so influential because he removed himself from the equation and allowed the communities he documents to speak for themselves. Brandon joins 30 Days of Genius to explain how to focus on the stories in front of you, and how to recognize and pursue your own core genius.

Brandon’s blog Humans of New York has accumulated over 20 million followers worldwide and turned into two NYT-bestselling books (Humans of New York and Humans of New York: Stories).
