From Singapore to Seoul, Taipei to Tokyo, Mumbai to Manila, these creators and artists tell us how they paved their own path and dealt with the unexpected challenges and unmitigated failures along the way, as they built a unique and singular foolish career.

On getting lucky and earning it retroactively with writer Chris Jones
Episode 11
Friday, 18 February, 2022
On this podcast, we've always interviewed creators in Asia. I made an exception for this episode because I wanted to speak to Chris Jones. Chris is a journalist and screenwriter who is best known for his work at Esquire Magazine, where two of his stories won the National Magazine Award, the highest accolade for magazine writing in the US.I'm a long-time reader of Chris's work and also enjoy his hilarious Twitter feed @enswelljones. So when his book publicist reached out -- out of the blue, which is a first for Foolish Careers -- and asked if I wanted to check out the book and interview Chris, I wasn't going to say no. The book is called The Eye Test, where Chris makes the case for the value of human creativity in an age of algorithms: https://www.twelvebooks.com/titles/chris-jones/the-eye-test/9781538730683/ Hosted on Acast.
