Let’s face it, Real estate education has lost the script. Everybody “claims” to have the secret sauce. They get you to sign up, get you to bite on a “magic” formula, but there’s no real tools to get there. There’s so much talk, no practical steps. It’s not instructional, it’s hype. The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way.

About Our Guest:
Howard Chang is an accomplished artist and entrepreneur best known for his influential work designing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys—a globally successful and culturally iconic franchise. With a background spanning creative design, manufacturing, and tech, Howard Chang blends business acumen with imaginative artistry. He is currently pioneering "Ancientz," a bold new project that reimagines biblical heroes as futuristic warriors, aiming to inspire the next generation with stories rooted in purpose, creativity, and faith.
Reasons to Listen:
- Discover the untold story behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy craze and how Howard Chang helped shape an iconic franchise.
- Get a behind-the-scenes look at turning failure into growth, and how fast-tracked “failing quickly” paved the way for creative and business breakthroughs.
- Dive into the creation of “Ancientz,” a bold new project reimagining biblical heroes as futuristic warriors, blending pop culture, faith, and innovation.
Episode Resources & Action Steps:
Resources Mentioned in This Episode:
- Ancientz Website: Visit Ancientz.com (with a "z") to see Howard Chang’s faith-inspired, futuristic toy line and sign up for email updates.
- Ancientz Instagram: Follow Ancientz on Instagram for the latest updates, behind-the-scenes content, and project progress.
- San Diego Comic Con: Mentioned as a hub for pop culture fans and a place where nostalgia and fandom thrive. If you're interested in toys, comics, or creative inspiration, consider visiting or following news from San Diego Comic Con.
Action Steps for Listeners:
- Check Out Ancientz: Visit the Ancientz website and follow on Instagram to support and stay updated on the launch of a new, creative pop-culture brand blending faith and futuristic design.
- Reflect on “Fail Quickly”: Adopt the mindset of failing quickly, as discussed by Howard Chang. If you start a new creative project or business idea and it’s not working, don’t spend years dragging it out—learn from it, pivot, and grow.
- Incorporate Quiet Time for Creativity: Take time to pause and reflect before launching into a new creative pursuit, just as Tim Winders and Howard Chang discussed. Set aside moments for prayer, quiet, or contemplation to allow bigger ideas and inspiration to surface.
Key Lessons:
- Fail Quickly, Grow Rapidly: Embracing failure is essential for growth. Howard Chang shares how learning to "fail quickly" allowed him to avoid dragging out unsuccessful ventures and move on to opportunities where he could truly learn and expand his skills.
- Creativity Thrives on Faith and Purpose: Building something meaningful requires more than just talent—it demands a sense of calling and spiritual purpose. Howard Chang's journey shows how integrating faith with creativity leads to work that resonates on a deeper level, both for the creator and the audience.
- Nostalgia and Storytelling Have Lasting Impact: The popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles illustrates the power of combining creativity with relatable storytelling. Toys, stories, and pop culture artifacts offer people comfort, happiness, and connection, especially in difficult times.
- True Transformation Often Follows Times of Suffering: Personal lows can become pivotal turning points. Howard Chang describes how hitting rock bottom during a difficult season opened the door to profound spiritual growth and creative renewal—proving that hardship can be a powerful catalyst for change.
- Bold Vision Requires Risk—and Divine Partnership: Pursuing ambitious, game-changing projects (like Ancientz) means stepping into unknown territory, risking failure, and trusting that the right timing and support will come. Howard Chang emphasizes the importance of seeing himself as a steward rather than an owner, partnering with God in the creative process.
