Ep82 – The Stories We Tell

Are you left-brained or right-brained? How do you shift from a logical career to a creative, highly right-brained career?

Our guest in Episode 82 is an AWESOME dude. He attended Florida State University and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in accounting. He even became a licensed CPA! But then he realized that that wasn’t where he needed to be.

He decided that in order to fulfill his purpose he had to pivot to that world of storytelling. In December of 2004, he took a step of faith, left his corporate job, and became an entrepreneur. Let’s hear the rest of the story from Andy Henriquez.
