Ep. 042 Passion: The Driver to Thrive W/ Eliezer Nieves

https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0042_nieves

When he was in the 3rd grade Eliezer (EJ) Nieves watch in awe as buddy Sam draw characters from EJ’s favorite arcade game, Final fight. It was there that EJ realized that creation is cool.

He approached engineering in the same way. But like Belger, the last boss in Final Fight, math became EJ’s achilles heal.

EJ worked as a school teacher, but continued to create. He’d attend local Comic Cons to show case his art. That’s where his art caught many an eye. One of them was Stan Lee’s handler. As living life in passion would have it, not luck, EJ and Stan Lee were soon swapping art and autographs.

EJ is an incredible person of faith, family, and passion. And this episode felt like two friends catching up.

Not only is he giving a TEDxOcala talk on November 7, but he’s continuing to obliterate the stigma of the starving artist by opening his gallery on the very same day.
