Episode 26: Show Notes.
Today’s guest is the multi-passionate, multi-talented, Robbie Trevino. Despite what many people from his hometown believe about the art industry, Robbie makes a living as a conceptual artist and illustrator. He works in a wide range of fields, and is always open to whatever new opportunities present themselves to him; right now he’s working on designs for a skateboard deck, shoes, and a car wrap! He has also immersed himself in the world of NFT’s (after a lot of initial skepticism towards the idea), which has opened up so many doors for him. In today’s episode, Robbie shares his journey from sci-fi obsessed school boy in a town full of factory workers and sports fanatics, to the interesting experiences he had as a blue collar worker in numerous industries, to the successful artist he is today, and what he plans on doing if his career takes a turn for the worse. Cars and food are also a major feature covered in this conversation, and Robbie has some advice to share which may sound simple, but is probably one of the most profound and inspiring things you’ll ever hear!
