How do these play out?* What’s the relationship between fear and procrastination?* If you’re a procrastinator, what steps can you take to regain control? Why are fear and perfectionism intertwined?* You talk about the power of asking, “Why?” How does this put our fears into perspective?* What are the hallmarks of fearless leaders?* What are simple tips anyone can use to become more fearless?* What do you hope readers will take from your book?

In 1994, his family immigrated to California where he later took fashion classes at a local college and landed a job at Mattel – designing clothes for Barbie. When he had saved enough money, he enrolled in his dream school, Otis College of Art and Design. After graduating he was recruited by 7 for All Mankind, then House of Howe (Union Bay), and later Affliction Clothing, where he was Head Designer for 10 years. As someone who hated wearing dress shirts, he set out to make a dress shirt that felt like his favorite t-shirt. Using a special blend of 100% long fiber cotton and a unique manufacturing process, he developed a profoundly soft fabric he named “Buttercloth.”  Buttercloth’s explosive growth online also caught the attention of ABC’s Shark Tank, and Danh was invited to the show. In October 2018, viewers watched Danh make a $250,000 deal with investor Robert Herjavec who is helping to grow the Buttercloth™ brand worldwide.

And what prompted you to specialise in using sustainable materials?* What makes a material sustainable?  And what materials do you use?* What is the environmental impact of the popularly used products currently in use?* You’ve invented a transportable plywood cabinetry system – tell me about that.* What does the future hold for Select Custom Joinery? Gino Monteleone is a qualified cabinetmaker with over 30 years experience in the industry.  He began his apprenticeship in the days when being a cabinet maker meant building furniture from solid timber.  In 2000, Gino and his wife Robyn started Select Custom Joinery to support their vision of starting a family and being present parents.  Concerned about the health issues of working day in and day out with materials such as MDF and particleboard, combined with a desire to do more timber work, Gino began looking at ways to offer clients a more sustainable option.   About the time the GFC hit (Global Financial Crisis), they had committed to phasing out using all MDF and particleboard products and use only sustainable materials such as plywood, recycled timber and bamboo.  When they spoke to other people in the industry, they were told it couldn’t be done. They survived the GFC and managed to phase out using all other materials within 2 years.  Select Custom Joinery is a multi-award winning business specialising in using solid, sustainable materials to produce practical, durable and beautiful kitchens, interior joinery and furniture. Gino’s innovative design options are available all across Australia and he currently has two pending patents.  Website: SelectCustomJoinery.com.au Facebook: facebook.com/SelectCustomJoinery  People also listened to this: Why You Should Use a Career Coach in 2020: Ama La Vida
