This week on Wealth Ops Wednesday on the My Walk pod, we sit down with Robbie Walters a U.S. Marine veteran and founder of Old Breed Design Company.

Robbie shares how serving as combat camera (2009–2014) shaped his discipline, eye for storytelling, and design standards. We talk about why fundamentals like the rule of thirds and the golden ratio matter more than trends, and how “cool looking” design can still fail if it doesn’t hold up over time.

We also break down the real world side of being a creative: building a portfolio, landing jobs after graduating during lockdown, the truth about undervaluing yourself, and how to price your work with confidence. Plus, Robbie gives a clear take on AI in design why it’s a tool, not a replacement and the biggest mistakes new designers make (including why he says don’t rely on Canva if you want to be a real designer).

If you’re a Marine, a creative, or a business owner trying to build a brand that actually means something this one’s for you. Semper cash flow.
