I'm guessing you've never heard of him -- even though he's done 100 speaking gigs a year for the last 12 years for some of the biggest companies in the country, is a bestselling author, and has created an amazing living from making art he loves.
Erik Wahl calls himself a performance artist, and once you see him on stage doing his thing, you realize why.
But he wasn't always a successful, booked artist traveling the country and inspiring thousands with his work.
He used to be a corporate suit kind of guy, chasing money and working long hours at the office.
Until it all fell apart with the economy.
