When you’re pursuing work that’s important to you, you’re going to take a few hits to the chin and get knocked down a few times.
The real question is how do you respond?
Sometimes in life, you have to roll with the punches, dust yourself off and fight to create another day. You don’t get wrapped up in the adversity because you realize some people have it way worse..
Someone who is a champ at this is my brother Colin Tierney of Tierney Studio. Colin and I met in 2015 for the first time at Creative South back in 2015. He’s become a close friend who always bails me out of a pinch when I need help with pricing, pitching, delivering or providing honest feedback on my work.
Lets just say he’s a pro at branding, calligraphy, lettering, teaching, starting interesting side projects and most importantly, puns. The dude is also the magician behind Crayligraphy which we will talk more in depth about in the show.

I want to leave you with some parting words from Colin that I hope will simmer in your soul: “When you leave this earth, will you regret you didn’t start or stick with it?”
“When you leave this earth, will you regret you didn’t start or stick with it?”
