Nick Campbell is the Founder of Greyscalegorilla, a platform known for its high-quality 3D assets and having Microsoft, ESPN, and Sony among its clients. He initiated the company independently and has since scaled it significantly over the years. Greyscalegorilla facilitates 3D artists in creating realistic renders efficiently across platforms such as Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, and Unreal Engine. We spoke with Nick about his journey as a creative and an entrepreneur and we broke down the Evolution of Greyscalegorilla. We talked about the importance of saying NO to distractions and even talked about our secret weapon of success "Daily challenges". Nick shared with us strategies for building exceptional teams, prioritizing the right ideas, and envisioning the future of Greyscalegorilla.
