    Dang dude chase that story!!! @50:00 --> I feel like you backed out of a very interesting path to follow conversationally. All love, and an excellent episode -- I just wanted to express some thought there. Matthew was WAY more of a talker than I expected, and I'm sure it was tough to know what direction to take everything because he was ready to run whichever way you pointed him.

      @@MatthewEncina Your story was a powerful introspective look exploring a tough human question: "What do we actually want out of our work?" I wanted to hear more about your path to deciding your future was creating a design studio, rather than chasing Authorship and other opportunities. You have managed to narrow down and focus your brand exceptionally -- which seems to have come from some of those difficult decisions. How did you go about clarifying your path, and do you have any advice for someone trying to clarify their personal Brand?
