We had the good fortune of connecting with Phillip Banks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Phillip, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
I like to call it concendrated distractions. If I find myself stuck in a creative process, I don’t over think it. I literally get up and do something while thinking about it. For example, driving is a great way for my mind to be focused but distracted at the same time. Sometimes my best ideas come when Im driving.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Not everything is going to be the amazing work. Sometimes it’s more important to get the rep in than anything. The best thing I can give to someone is to never give up. Giving up is the only guaranteed way to not make something happen. Have some faith in yourself and trust your process. If something is easy, everyone would do it. My story is relatable. From the smallest details to the bigger picture.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We Love a good brunch. mimosas rolling til the wheels fall off.
