Our guest this week is Bob Arvin. You may not know his name, but we’d wager you’ve probably seen his work - he contributed at Disney and on Inspector Gadget, Bicentennial Man, and his production company’s international smash hit The God Man has been seen by at least 500 million people worldwide. Bob’s journey is proof of the power of a dream - if you want to do something, go do it! Watch and learn how coding at the horse track can pan out into a decades-long career in animation and film production.
