Hello and welcome you are listening to the future podcast this is where we talk about the business of design and the changing landscape of what it takes to be a design professional in the 21st century.

I'm your host Chris Doe. I'm a brand strategist, Emmy Winning Director,

consultant, teacher, designer, entrepreneur, and YouTube hosts. But this isn't about me.

It's about you, your goals, challenges, pains and gains in your personal and professional life.

Today, I want to dig into our archives and share a popular episode from our YouTube channel.

You'll be hearing these from time to time as we have

over 100 episodes recorded. What's really cool about hosting a YouTube show is I

get to invite friends and people that I admire on to their show,

hopefully to share what they know, their knowledge,

and get to know them a little bit better.

But rarely is it that somebody comes on the show

and actually has an impact on me personally

that profoundly changes the way I think about things.

And the episode I'm talking about is when Cho- Wynne stopped by the studio and shared his whole experience.

I had always looked at myself as a true blood entrepreneur that I was taking risk and living life on the edge.

But when I heard him share his story about burning the proverbial bridge behind him that he came from,

it meant to him that he had no way to return. He can only move forward.

And that really struck a chord in me and I started to think maybe I've been

playing it really safe. This young guy was able to exit out of his first company

after eight or so years and sold his company for 20 million dollars.

He was willing to bet it all.

All right guys, I've done way too much talking.
