We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Sherman Shelton a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Sherman, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?

I quit my day job to do this full time.
