Episode notes

In this episode, Chris Do sits down with Mo Said, founder and creative director of Mojo Supermarket, to unpack what it really means to build an interesting life, business, and brand. Through stories from Mo’s journey—starting an agency with little structure, growing it into a global creative force, and constantly chasing curiosity—they explore why interesting work comes from interesting people living intentional lives. The conversation weaves through personal risk, creative courage, and the idea that misalignment, not overwork, is often the true cause of burnout.
