From balling it up in the McDonald's league, to passively sharing cross country trails, to Parkland vs Riverside high school basketball - I've known today's guest and unknowingly kept up with his story all through the adolescent years. To see that mirroring timeline get to continue into our professional creative careers is an opportunity for those creators to come together and share wise words. There's two tiers of creators: those who are passive and those who mobilize, and in order to be one or the other, a lot of factors come into play. Our guest today eloguently dives into each of those factors and dissects each one down to it's essence allowing him to continuously challenge not only himself, but the community as a whole. After having this conversation with our guest, we too are extremely prepared and motivated to continue pushing the standard of storytelling here in La Frontera. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... JORDAN ZAMUDIO.
