Workout your creativity

Randy Aikens is a retired Military Veteran with a passion for fitness and creativity. He recently began attending GulfCoast State College this year with the hopes of expanding his knowledge in the realm of digital media. Randy is a personal trainer, freelance photographer. He hosts podcasts and plans on streaming training videos soon. In our interview, Randy talks about taking the leap of faith into a fresh start. Despite his 24 years of experience in the military and his skills with aviation, he explains that it simply was not fun. It was not his passion, and he wanted to explore more creative endeavors. 

He may seem intimidating at first glance, but for on-coming Digital media students who may be lucky enough to have a course with him, he has an abundance of experience and great advice that could help with whatever problem you are facing.

However, if you don’t get to see him in person, don’t worry! His podcast is an excellent resource for motivation and advice, and you can check it out by following the links below!
