trace a path to where they find themselves today.\u00a0 My guest this go around is Greg Olijnyk(Oh-lean-ick).\u00a0 During the day he\u2019s a graphic designer, and at night he\u2019s meticulously creating the most marvelous little sci-fi worlds out of cardboard and a scalpel.\u00a0 Some of these intricate pieces take months to create, but this soft-spoken Aussie explains to me how it\u2019s not the complexity he seeks from a piece, rather it\u2019s the connection others have with it.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy this chat with Greg. <\/span><\/span><span data-slate-node=\"text\"
