Justin Moll is a creative director by day at Mangos in Conshohocken and by night he transforms into Dr. Wolfenbergen, his illustration alter ego on Instagram.

His work has been recognized by the American Institute for Graphic Arts, Graphis, Communication Arts, The One Show, and more. Justin joins the show for a conversation about procrastination, creating zines and finding the fun in what you do.
