Bryce is one of the greatest multi-hyphenate creatives we will probably ever feature on this podcast. He is most known for his work at Nike and Nike SB, but continues to push his own boundaries through paintings, prints, tattooing, skateboarding, jui jitsu, and hot dog bongs.  In this conversation you’ll hear Bryce contemplate the question ‘what If I left design forever’, focused thoughts on diversifying hobbies and how to enjoy life. One of my favorite parts was hearing our guest chat about how to fill your creative cup. Hopefully any and all creatives take something out of this conversation, because I know I did.  Find out more about Bryce here:  https://www.instagram.com/bbbrycewong/ https://www.therealbrycewong.com/shop  Or his wife Mariah’s creative outlet:  https://www.instagram.com/dumbglass/ Thanks for listening.
