Update: 2025-07-25

Description

On today’s episode I’m thrilled to welcome Myron Nilson, CEO of AdPipe Studio in Atlanta and former Executive Creative Director at Hilton. Today he’s going to talk about a difficult time in his personal life, how it wiped out his mental creative hard drive and what he did to comeback stronger than ever. He’ll also share his thought on dyslexia as a superpower and what he’s seeing on the horizon for AI.
