Some think Acho has gone too far, others not far enough. Uncomfortable conversations, it was different.”īeing on the front lines of one of the most hot-button topics has a cost. “If you want to change an industry you have to be first, you have to best or you have to be different. “I want to be considered one of the most creative people in the industry when it is all said and done,” Acho said.

He said now because of the temperature of the world in regards to mental health and why you because of the nature in which you have conversations.”Īcho is not looking for a “gotcha moment” in his conversations.
