How to Move Forward from Adversity

The adversities of 2020 caused suffering in multiple areas of life – both personal and professional. How can we move forward from those experiences to get back to a forward-moving, proactive life?

Dee and Kris Robinson were thrown not only into the pandemic, but also wildfires, riots that caused damage to their studio, racism, and more. In episode 500 of The Bokeh Podcast, Dee and Kris share with us how they dealt with both business and personal adversities, yet found opportunities to move forward and find positivity in times of struggle.
