\u201cI can\u2019t let the fear of hurting myself stop me from being who I want to be.\u201d\n"Can my passion be monetized?"\n\nI get asked this question all the time.\n\nThere are passions that are easy to monetize. If you're passionate about finance, accounting or investing, you can easily find a paying position in these fields...\n\nBut what if you're passionate about painting? What about history? What about shoes? These arts are traditionally considered hard, if not impossible, to monetize.\n\nI believe today, with enough passion, inspiration and perseverance you can make a career from nearly anything.\n\nMy next guest on the show has built a career from playing on pull-up bars.\xa0He is an incredible athlete and an astonishing acrobat. Not only does he have deep insight into the lifestyle of a creative entrepreneur, but he also is a student of self-actualization. We explore all these things and more in our interview.\n\nThank you for downloading.
