Anjelika Temple | Chief Creative Officer & Founding Partner @ Brit + Co

About this video

This is not a My First Million podcast episode. The transcript is a keynote speech by Angelica Temple, co-founder and creative director of Britton Co, about her journey discovering and pursuing creativity. She shares a collection of formative moments—from childhood through artist colonies to corporate work—that shaped her philosophy of starting immediately rather than waiting for the perfect moment.

Key takeaways

• Angelica’s guiding principle across her life was rejecting the idea of ’eventually’—when offered a role at an artist colony, the founder challenged her to start being an artist immediately rather than waiting for permission or the perfect circumstances.
• Building creative skills incrementally through side pursuits while maintaining other work is viable; Angelica took night classes in various crafts while working at an ad agency, gradually developing her printmaking business before co-founding Britton Co.
• Saying yes to unexpected opportunities and taking calculated risks—like applying for artist residencies, moving across the country, or pivoting careers—can reveal your true path, even if the immediate outcome is unclear.
