Ep. 117: Gordyland (Artist / Creative Director) | The Relentless Pursuit of Creativity

Gordy comes from the world of music and touring in bands, then went all in as an artist and creative director and has an incredibly successful career since doing so. In addition, he's an all around rad dude with a super inspiring story!

My favorite part of his story is his genuine love of creating and non-stop pursuit to push himself to do exactly that on the biggest level possible.

I hope this podcast inspires you to do that as well!
