Jake Bryer Highlight
The more chances you take, the more you'll learn about yourself; the more well-rounded you'll be; and the more confidence you'll have to try other things in the future.
About Jake
- After college, he wanted to buy a piece of art in his price range and couldn't find anything.
- Wondered why there wasn't a gallery for "the regular folks out there," so he started one.
- Saved his money from working in corporate marketing to start Austin Art Garage.
- Decided that he wanted money to be a side-product of his passion, not the main goal.
- Had a background in marketing, but wanted to create something that was so cool it marketed itself.
- His biggest inspiration is people telling him that something can't be done.
- Says, "I like to win and not lose, but I feel like it's failing from the get-go if you don't try."
- Trying and failing makes you stronger, he says; "I want to enjoy the journey, not the destination."
