Ep 30: Ken Decker, Composite Effects (CFX)

Ken Decker set out to make monster masks and movie props — and ended up also building hyperrealistic silicone human heart models used to train medical professionals. In this episode, he talks about how he found his way onto a Hollywood film set with no union card and no connections, taught himself mold-making from a VHS tape, started a prop shop and grew it into a company that supplies both Hollywood and now the medical industry. It's a conversation about showing up, saying yes before you know how, and staying flexible when your customers show you where the business actually wants to go.Composite Effects: compositeeffects.comDana's Newsletter: nationofdoers.substack.com
