“My best ideas come in moments of stillness”

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast has made a name for himself by thinking outside the box with unconventional and creative business ideas and marketing strategies.

He is the man behind IWearYourShirt.com, a million dollar business where he got paid to wear t-shirts for a living.

He has changed his name more than Prince: Jason Zook (rhymes with ‘look’), was formerly known as Jason Sadler, Jason HeadsetsDotCom and Jason SurfrApp.

In 2014, he self-published his book Creativity For Sale by crowd-sourcing over $75,000 worth of sponsorships before the book was even written.

This episode is all about how to exercise your creative muscle, take action, and have fun making money.
