When business started difficulties overcame:
“Self doubt after leaving school, up until that point no one knows that I like to write, I’ve not even proven that I can write and I’ve not even proven that I can run a business of any sort, so I’ve been a career student up to that point, I’ve had only one type of identity, and now I’m trying to forge this new type of identity where I’m going to have to learn these new skills and the environment I’m in is not the most motivating because they don’t see it the way I see it”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Julian Hayes II:
- “When you have a why, that can get you through anything”
- “A lot of people have had tough circumstances, they’ve overcame them and so our problems, our situations are not necessarily unique as we’d like to think they are”
- “I like to think that we can all do our passion but not exactly, I don’t believe just follow your passion and it’s going to work out because some things that we’re passionate about we might not be skilled enough or there might not be enough demand in the world so for me I love music and that’s a passion of mine but I can’t sing, I can’t play instruments”
