Brought to you by Fable–Ideas in Motion is a series streaming live on select Friday afternoons on YouTube. It's a space for real conversations with seasoned creators about motion, design, life, learnings, and more.

In this episode, join Adrian and NYC-based creative Michael Luckhardt, a seasoned motion designer with experience spanning many creative disciplines throughout his career. Find out why they rave about the magic of saying "Yes!" more than "No." And hear all about what happens when things don't quite go as planned but instead turn out better in all the ways you never saw coming.
