Episode 51: The Createur Manifesto, with Ben Chiriboga

After 5 years working for a prominent law firm in litigations and corporate transactions, Ben returned to his roots and true calling of entrepreneurship. In 2015, he founded En Masse Counsel whose primary directive is the support of creative entrepreneurship. Creative entrepreneurship is a thriving engine of economic growth because launching creative businesses and ventures transforms how we use or interact with products and services and, at times, even with ourselves. The principle startups like Airbnb, Groupon, and Uber were built on is the “artist business person” - where creativity is emphasized first and technology created in service of the artist. These businesses do not simply make services and products easier to use or less expensive but actually disrupt the fields and markets they enter, initiating epoch-defining metamorphoses that change the way life is lived and impart tremendous cultural impact.
