“Passion is dangerous, but passion is also essential.”
In this episode, Jay connects with an old rugby teammate and published author, Thomas Kohnstamm about the entrepreneurship of writing and pursuing a career in the creative arts. Thomas lives in Seattle and has written two novels: "Do Travel Writers Go to Hell?" and most recently, "Lake City." Jay and Thomas talk about coming up against artistic integrity, how to incorporate feedback without getting broken, knowing your essence while remaining adaptable, and the dark side of ambition.
