In this episode, sketchnoter, graphic recorder, author, and bullet journaling queen, Diana Soriat joins me to talk about her unique path into visual thinking and going full-time as an author, visualizer and teacher.

We talk about how her past professional life gives her a deeper business understanding that helps her graphic recording and sketchnoting — and how her bullet journaling helps her keep a busy work life and active family on track.
