We had the good fortune of connecting with Jamal Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jamal, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
Burning bridges is the one piece of conventional advice I disagree with. I believe in Nuking the Bridges.

There is more than one way to get to an end point or goal. If you are creative. When people act like one person can end your world or stop your goals if you burn a bridge is stupid.

Make your own door or way and destroy the bridge. If there is water under the bridge, swim to the other side or make a boat to get across. Being afraid to stand up for yourself because you may burn a bridge is totally for the uninitiated.

Hanging out with me for a day or even a week would be the most interesting time of your life because I am random. There would be no itinerary because I would just go places, try places to eat on a spur of the moment.
