58: Dylan Menges, by Prayer and Plow

Welcome to the Creative South Podcast! I’m your host, Jason Frostholm. Today, I talk with Dylan Menges about everything from how his dad won the land he grew up on in a blackjack game, why drawing matters, how to launch a design studio, and doing it all by prayer and plow, all right after this. I want to thank our friends over at Jak Prints for sponsoring this episode. Whatever you need printed they can do it. Do you need stickers? Jak Prints can do it. Do you need T-shirts?
