Turning dreams into reality is kind of what I’m all about. I come up with crazy stupid ideas and then find a way to make them reality. That’s why I called this podcast Make Ideas Reality. I wanted to inspire and give my audience the tools to push through the barriers that are stopping them from making their ideas a reality.
My guest today Giacomo Di Muro otherwise known as “Giaco Whatever” seems to smash through those barriers. Well at least Leap over them with his like Super Mario. Giaco has pioneered his way into product design and manufacturing from his humble beginnings, as a maker on YouTube channel Giaco Whatever.
Today we delve into the way he sees the world and how that has shaped the way he approaches his work.
Giaco shares with us what has been critical to his success

And we hear about his newest Kickstarter project NOSHORTCUTS
