Summary: Scott Belsky is like Batman: he’s not the hero we deserve, but he’s the one that we need. Creatives can be unorganized and idealistic. They tend to not be the most business oriented people. Scott has spent his entire career creating and improving tools, frameworks, and infrastructures that help make ideas happen. His work helps creators treat themselves more like businesses, and makes creative people and tools accessible to more businesses. His work is maybe best epitomized in the founding mission of Behance: connecting the best creative talent to the best opportunities.
