PP 066: Changing One Life at a Time with Lenny Terenzi of Hey Monkey Design
Lenny Terenzi of Hey Monkey Design
When you hit rock bottom and are backed into a corner, you’re forced to make a choice.
How do you respond?
I feel it's easier to throw in the towel then it is to raise up and face adversity. It takes a lot of guts to get back up and attack life from a new direction.
Then you have Lenny Terenzi, who's gone from extreme highs to extreme lows only to climb his way back up to the top. Not only has he made a huge name for himself in the creative industry, but he shares his story and his Professor Dumbledore like wisdom alongside it.
Master of Many
Lenny is an expert at branding, illustration, screen printing, teaching workshops, speaking, organizing events and whatever else you can think of, he probably does it. He's a pretty squirrely and lovable character who operates under the name Hey Monkey Design.
Not only has he been a huge role model to me, but he has zero issues opening up and being transparent in order to help someone else avoid the mistakes he’s made.
In this episode we chat about:
Battling through creative block
Finding yourself in community
Vulnerability and getting out of your comfort zone
Building your own thriving creative business
