Turning your hobby into a career is #lifegoals for most of us.

For Episode 007 of The MICK Show, we talk to one of the most creative people in the sneaker industry on how he achieved that.

Meet Tyler Mansour: The design visionary behind most of the amazing sneaker photography you see online. And it all started with a courageous moment of intent: The perfect shoe, the perfect shot and the audacity to boldly proclaim his future to KITH founder, Ronnie Fieg, which resulted in the perfect outcome.

Says Tyler: "I’m big on self-initiative, no matter what. There is a right fit for any and every creative person. You just have to find it.”

Mick and Tyler also discuss their favorite sneakers of all time, why creativity will always win and the importance of consistency.

“They say luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity, says Mick. "Tyler is living proof of that theory."
