What do impossible interview questions, and Thomas Edison have in common? In this episode of Go Influence Life, Christian shares the story of his worst job interview ever—where he was grilled with no-win questions, pushed to his limits, and ultimately found an opportunity to turn the tables… and land the job.

But this isn’t just a story about a tough interview. It’s about a powerful truth: Creativity demands patience.

Whether you’re solving problems, leading teams, or building something new, real creativity takes time, persistence, and a willingness to fail your way forward—just like Edison did with the lightbulb.
