Jason Zook is one of the must creative and innovative entrepreneurs I know. He lives his life (both on and offline) by one rule: he must Do Things Differently, however possible. This is evident in everything from his website copy, to his wacky businesses where he even sold his last name to a company for a whopping $50,000.
I love the authentic boldness he brings to his ventures, and to his life, and in today's episode we go behind the scenes of how he makes it all possible.
