    #15 Not Letting Fear Drive Us - Marcus Smith

    This week I get to speak with Marcus Smith about his incredible creative journey as a freelance photographer. He has worked with several iconic brands in his 7 year career; Nike, Adidas, Apple, ESPN, Reebok, GQ just to name a few. Art has always been a part of his life, but photography was not something that he even knew could be a career until after he had already graduated from undergrad with a degree in business. His mother being one of the strongest influences in his life gave him the confidence to go against what most people expected of him, and now he has already built a career many people aspire for.
