I was excited to have Troy Carter on the podcast.  He is the founder of Atom Factory, and the conversation was inspiring to say the least.
Troy and I talked about hip-hop, entrepreneurship, life, failure, success and finding passion around your work.  Troy used to work with Bigee Smalls and Puff Daddy back in the day and we started talking about the paralelles of technology entrepreneurs and hip hop music artists.  And the conversation turned into so much more afterwards.  
A great quote from Troy: "In life in general, there are no guarantees.  Failures are a part of life.  As cliche as it may sound, the way I look at it as there are no rewards without taking risks.  We take a risk every time we step out the door, every single day.  Life is full of risks and failures, but at the same time life is full of triumphs and hapiness."

Ep. 28 - Troy Carter: Finding a Passion You’d Be Willing to Die For (Atom Factory CEO)

I am Ryan Williams. My life is divided into two life spans: Before Mushrooms (BM), and After Mushrooms (AM).

Nerv, a mushroom inspired podcast, dedicated to the environment and sharing the stories of Mother Earth's flora, fungal, and fauna. Nerv branches out from the mycelium network to create and publish fungi and ecologically inspired conversations with mycologists, environmentalists, and people partnering with fungi to heal the earth.

Fungi are touching every aspect of society from politics to food to medicine to pop culture and we're here to discuss how humans are evolving with the fungal queendom.

Who is Ryan?
Ryan Williams is an environmentalist, mycologist, breathworker, and fungal storyteller. He's the founder of Nerv. After working in social media for Disney, gaming at Machinima, and with tech startups to help spread their stories, he now uses his skills to further his mission: building a fungi, environmental, and ecologically inspired media company.

He is certified to teach breathwork, yoga nidra, yin yoga and meditation. His first book, The Influencer Economy: How to Launch Your Idea, Share it with the World, and Thrive in the Digital Age detailed the rise of social media influencers. You can connect with him at nerv.earth.
