Julian left his home in Austria at the age of 16 to move to the US. From there, he became a professional kitesurfer traveling the world for 10 years while (oddly enough) he studied medicine and eventually working as a medical doctor. Like many professionals, he soon became disillusioned with his career choice, and left the medical field (over some family protest) to start his own business. He now lives in Hong Kong, where he inspires others to take a chance on the thing they might be too afraid to try. In this Wordslinger interview, Kevin talks to Julian about his life, his choices, and how all of us can go for our passion even if we're afraid of the path.
