trace a path to where they find themselves today.\u00a0 My guest this go around is Chuck McCarthy.\u00a0 He\u2019s somewhat hard to describe; he\u2019s worked in the film industry both in Atlanta and LA, he\u2019s a prolific artist, something of a serial entrepreneur, a TEDx alumni, children\u2019s book author, and a former people walker.\u00a0 Ultimately it seems like he thinks\u2026a lot\u2026about a lot of things.\u00a0 I think maybe he\u2019s here to validate your reality, and inspire you to look at the world a bit differently, at least that\u2019s what he did with me.\u00a0 I hope you share this with a friend, and enjoy this chat with Chuck. <\/span><\/span><span data-slate-node=\"text\"
