KOJO BOATENG

Current job: Creative Director / PBS News Hour

3 things you can’t live without: A good nights sleep, my wife, good music.

What’s your superpower? Connecting good people together, spotting bullsh*t from a mile away (although, you will never know).

What do you listen to while creating? Mainly podcasts, reggae, old skool hiphop.

Favorite TV show: Currently Slow Horses, but I get nostalgic about classic British comedies like Only Fools and Horses.

What (or who) inspires you? Firstly, my wife...she's a rockstar! Also, people who live by a specific conviction or life path. It's inspiring to see people with a sense of freedom.

Advice for young creatives? Take creative risks. Start passively saving for your income for retirement, it creeps up on you faster than you think.

What’s on your bucket list for the next year? Travel to Japan, getting a motorcycle (yikes!), take my podcast on the road.
