#54 - Greg Hemmings on Entrepreneurship, Identity, and Rewiring the Muse

This week I had the good fortune of interviewing entrepreneur, filmmaker, and friend Greg Hemmings.

Greg read an excerpt from a commencement speech he gave at the University of New Brunswick.

We talked about why the earliest - seemingly hardest - days of toil and struggle are often the most beautiful.

We talked about his new YouTube project - Rewiring the Muse

Why being in business with your friends is really hard.

And so much more.

Greg’s Overrated-Underrated is can’t miss. You can now find the segment as a stand-alone playlist on the YouTube channel.

You can find the podcast wherever you enjoy podcasts.

Thank you for listening.
