Duy Nguyen

When you Absofreakinglutely love your craft you spend hours honing and perfecting it, Duy, loves his work, it’s obvious from the magnificent covers he created.  If you're wondering what covers I'm referring to, you must've been under a rock for the past few weeks.  I first became familiar with Duy's when Pricilla Jackson posted a sample of his work. it was instantly clear and to me that he loved craft.  Duy created decades worth Runner's World Magazine covers on Korea Town's Running Club Page .  Why?  Why would Duy create Runner's World Magazine covers for random strangers?  Well, Duy understads the importance of representation.  

A few years ago, Duy had an opportunity to cover Run Across Haiti and like Ben Fountain, the author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara, he kept returning to the country-after his first trip he fell in love with running.  When he returned to Korea Town he started a running club.  

Oh yeah I haven't mentioned my Ko-fi page.  The launching of my Ko-fi page is me embracing my talents, this is me walking in my purpose, this is me taking the leap, acknowledging that what I'm doing is providing a valuable service for the audience, the guest and the sponsors.  BTW Podcast is a business.

I took the leap 4years ago to drive for Uber/Lyft Full-time, so I could have the flexibility to devote to building BTW Podcast.  Ko-fi is platform that will allow entrepreneurs/business owners to sponsor an episode PRE, MID or POST roll, it also allows you to buy me a cup of coffee.
