How to Be A Remarkable Misfit with AJ Leon

The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

A few weeks ago, I kept seeing this manifesto titled How to Be a Remarkable Misfit (PDF) being passed around the web. With a title like that I was immediately intrigued. I get exposed to tons of content on a daily basis because I'm continually on the look out for great work. I can confidently say this manifesto is the best thing I've read in the last year. So I made it to a point track down AJ Leon and get him here on the show. Something tells me you're all going to love this interview and it will be one of the highlights of this year.
