In this episode, Adam sits down for a great conversation with Ike Winter, a Milwaukee wood artist who creates elaborate pieces using only found materials and minimal tools.
Ike has gained national attention through viral works like a giant Crayola box, driven by his philosophy of "delusional optimism" - the belief that any day could bring amazing opportunities while staying authentic to his creative vision.
It’s an inspiring story of how focusing on what naturally interests you, combined with an optimistic mindset and dedicated work ethic, can lead to unexpected success.
