Episode 4 - Interview with Travis Chambers, Forbes Top 30 Under 30, Media Agency Founder, and Video Maven
This episode's guest is an incredibly busy father, entrepreneur, creative, and Forbes Top 30 Under 30 winner. Not only that, but he's responsible for YouTube's "#1 Ad of the Decade" and has helped brands like Amazon, Yahoo, Kraft, Coca-Cola, Old Navy, and many more.
Today, we discuss creativity and how to view your life from a bit of a different perspective while using your own mortality to drive your growth and decisions.
I caught up with Travis while he was on his way to a property that he's rehabbing so our scheduled time was cut a bit short, but the contents are very valuable.
