My guest for this inaugural episode of the Guest Friends podcast is one of my life-long best friends of over 20 years: Carl S. Johnson. Carl is a married father of two, graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, owns and operates the graphic design firm Saint Creative, and is prone to enjoying a Starbucks s'mores mocha while contemplating lyrics of rock-and-roll songs as they spin on his turntable. I met up with Carl to discuss the topics of marriage, friendships, and doing the hard work in relation to passion projects. Amongst other insights, Carl tells us what he didn't learn in marriage books, of being blown away by his son's Lego skills, and to fight the resistance in order to do something significant with our lives.
