Multi-faceted Californian creative Mike Carranza shares his gratitude for the parents who gave him the freedom to explore a career path no one in his family had trodden and how his successes in the industry have inspired those around him to tread a similar path themselves. 

He explains how timing, dealing with failure, and being ready for opportunity took him from a $60 pay check to a client list boasting Adidas, Umbro, and MLS.

Mike opens up on his his introverted nature, how it conflicts with his role as a photographer, and what he’d be doing if he wasn’t getting paid to do all of this.

SPOILER: He’d be doing this. 

Enjoy!
