Sometimes, life brings us to our knees in order to also bring us back to our essence. Question is, what happens when we honor that voice? There’s only one way to know, and that’s to heed the call.And that is exactly what my guest today, Mike Han, has done. Over the years, he became a deeply-skilled and sought-after omakase sushi chef, rising up in that world, and was just about to open his own place, when the pandemic hit. Literally overnight, he found himself without work, without a vision, without enough money to pay his rent and, to a certain extent, out of hope. But, he still had one thing, his artistic impulse, and it began calling him louder than ever. Not as a sushi chef, but as the visual artist that’d been inside him since childhood.&nbsp;The chain of events that unfolded over the next two years, frankly, is hard to explain in any rational sense. He said yes to the call and the Universe did, in fact, rise up to support him, time and time again, in the most astonishing ways. Mike has now made massive waves as a rising artist. In our conversation, we talk about Mike's journey up until this moment and explore the ways art has shaped his own life and even saved him at times. We also dive into his unique process as an artist, and he offers his own interpretations of what art can look like and mean to us all.&nbsp;You can find Mike at: <a href="https://www.thehouseofhan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mikehan_detroit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>If you LOVED this episode you’ll also love the conversations we had with <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-life-project/id647826736?i=1000502657502" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peter Tunney</a> about his journey from finance to art.Check out our offerings & partners:&nbsp;<ul><li>My New Book <a href="https://sparketype.com/book/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sparked</a></li><li>My New Podcast <a href="https://pod.link/1610198312" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SPARKED</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.</a></li><li>Skylight Calendar: Skylight Calendar is a touchscreen digital wall calendar that displays your family's important events.
