Bernard Balizet - manic depression, backdoor Shakespeare and a dash of zombies

"Sometimes the best way into something is backward, and accidentally." ~ Bernard Balizet

Balizet says he's been living a bit backward most of his life, but says he doesn't recommend that style for everyone. For example, the first time he made the Dean's List, he dropped out of college to try his hand at salmon fishing in Alaska.

He ditched a lucrative-ish career to try one that was freelance and tips only. Eventually he learned these daring changes were most likely a bi-product of having a depressive disorder.

Learn about that journey and how he created a project he named Backdoor Shakespeare.
One teacher absolutely can change your path and allow new thoughts into your cranium. I think that was one of my favorite parts of Bernard's story.
