Noble Warrior with CK Lin

I’ve met many people who’ve chosen the safer path rather than the path less traveled. Brent Estabrook abandoned his dental profession the day after graduation. In this episode, Brent told his story of achieving overnight success as a painter in the face of serious debt, doubt, and struggle. He hopes that this story will inspire others to pursue what excites them in life… to follow their childhood dreams to do what undeniably makes them as happy as possible. Brent also shared the key champions, the bold moves he made in the early days, and the advice to help other aspirational artists succeed in the digital age.

• How to thrive as an artist in spite of the fearful moments
• His three morning rituals to gain more confidence, more creativity

• How he made the jump from dental school grad with $400k debt to a full-time 6-figure artist
• The teaching Nobu gave him
