Episode 199: The Art of Reinvention - with Lora Jakobsen

Reinvention isn’t about starting over. It’s about listening—closely—to who you’re becoming.

In this episode of About Art, I speak with Lora Jakobsen about leadership before titles, creativity beyond the arts, and how community shapes both personal growth and professional impact. From her early background in the performing arts to her current work in climate tech at ZeroNorth, Lora’s journey is a powerful reminder that the skills we develop in one chapter often become the foundation for the next.

We talk about:

•Reinvention as an ongoing practice

• Why art should never feel intimidating

• Leadership rooted in presence, curiosity, and care

• The role of community in shaping meaningful work

• Creativity as a transferable life skill

This conversation is for anyone navigating change—and wondering what might be possible on the other side. Lora is Heidi Zuckerman’s sister.
