In the Making

BONUS: Welcoming Rejection with Liz Mosley and Chris Do


Listen Later

For this bonus episode, host Teresa Au shares a conversation between design superstar and In the Making guest Chris Do and graphic designer Liz Mosley. Liz candidly reveals how Chris’ (very polite!) refusal to appear on her podcast inspired her to take on a personal challenge of gaining 100 professional rejections in six months. The surprising result: Liz’s changed mindset and newfound confidence led to acceptances, sponsorships, and opportunities, and even some nos turning into yeses! To bring it full circle, Chris invited Liz onto his podcast The Futur with Chris Do to share the inspiring story.
