WELCOME MIKE RICHY TO THE POD

My favorite topic today was covering the cost of not making an impact as a creator. 

As well as:

I sit down with my good friend and fellow creative, Adam West, for an honest conversation about what success really looks like in the creative world. We unpack the constant tug-of-war between passion and client expectations, and how imposter syndrome has a sneaky way of creeping in no matter how much experience you have.

What if fear wasn’t running the show? In this episode, I sit down with Kensington Rhodes to unpack limiting beliefs, pivotal decisions, and what happens when you give yourself full permission to chase what matters.

Kensington also shares lessons from building Viddy Studio and how travel shaped his lens on li...
