I feel that in life we're all very unique individuals and the more trends and twist that you go on

if you're really pursuing your inner voice and your passion, hopefully you're

realizing the thing that you're meant to do. Hey, I'm Greg Gunn, and welcome to the future podcast. Today's guest is an illustrator, children's book author, and creative entrepreneur.

He's also a member of the Future Pro Group. But more importantly, he's a shining example of

how to find a silver lining in a bad situation. And that situation goes by the name of COVID-19.

Now it's no mystery why businesses all over the planet have been decimated, and our guest is no exception.

But what he does excel at, especially in these miserable times,

is pivoting his way out of it.

His remarkable story comes with many twists, turns, and tough life decisions,

like leaving a salary of $120,000 a year to pursue happiness that only pays 30,

and all while shouldering hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition debt.

But like I said, there is a silver lighting.

And that's why he now happily pays $8,000 a month in Zoom bills, but he does it that free.

Okay, is that enough mystery for you?

I sure hope so.

But you'll have to listen to this two-part episode to get the whole story.

And trust me, it's worth your time. All right enough

anticipation building please enjoy our fascinating conversation with

Ari Chung. Okay so Ari for people who don't know who you are, can you introduce yourself and give us a little brief description of what it is that you do?

Sure. So I'm Ari Chung, a children's book author and illustrator and a creative entrepreneur and I make

picture books as well as I teach kids and adults how to become more creative how to

chase their dreams and even how to build a business.
