Ep 43 Failing High School Biology, Video Game Art, Brain Tumors and Carving at 60mph on A Electric Unicycle with Hayden Wu!

Hayden is the first and probably the last guest on the pod that I gave a failing grade to in biology. Despite that, we've kept in touch over the years and it was fun chatting with him for a few hours this summer.  Hayden got recruited to develop games for Rockstar games and worked on Red Dead Redemption for over 5 years. He's since been doing all kinds of other digital art for himself and others.  He got into riding personal electric vehicles a few years ago and got a concussion from a hard fall, an MRI revealed that he had a brain tumor, and life hasn't been the same since. This was a roller coaster of an interview with lots of laughs and some deep reflections too. 

You can see more of Hayden's art and videos on his Instagram @haydenthewu or @the_float_pack
