In this episode, our guest is designer, illustrator and author, Mike Brennan. 

As a boy growing up in New York, Mike created heartwarming greeting cards that lit up the faces of his family and friends. 

He always had an innate sense that his art was a way to serve others. 

Mike went on to study at The Fashion Institute of Technology and The School of Visual Arts in New York City.

After completing his schooling, Mike begin his career as a graphic designer. However, after a time, he began to suffer from some depression and found that he needed to rediscover his artistic abilities and use them to encourage and inspire others. 

Mike now helps fellow creatives and content creators through public speaking, an online community and a course called Your Artist Journey.

This is Mike’s story.
