MORE ABOUT TODD SEARLE
Todd Searle has always wanted to start a business. He has worked in retail sales, consulting, government, cloud software, and is now a published author. Throughout his previous jobs, Todd knew something was missing: creativity. As an author and creator, he has faced an uphill battle transitioning some of his most inspired ideas into successful commercial ventures. In his book, 32 Regrets: A Guide to Reclaiming Creativity, Todd examines some of the most inspiring stories of successful entrepreneurship today. He hopes to encourage a greater understanding of the creative mind and its creative development so that others can unlock the secrets to unleashing their own curiosity. When he’s not writing about creativity, Todd helps create content with other brands, and spends as much of his time outside as possible.
