45. Bobby Chiu - Artist, Emmy Winner, Schoolism and Lightbox Expo Founder on his career and moving past 'No'

If you're looking for some career inspiration, look no further than this episode with guest Bobby Chiu. Bobby's career is an example of tenacity, purpose, and a drive to not only be a great artist but to be great FOR artists.

We start out early in his career journey and talk through all the obstacles he encountered before his big break, which was really a big gamble that turned into a big break.

Our industry throws up continual obstacles, whether it's a no from a pitch, a no from a school, being part of layoffs caused by Wall Street's whims, or a myriad of other barriers, this episode will encourage you to keep going and to help others to keep going.

Enjoy!
