I’m in the seed planting business.

(And, no, I don’t mean that I’m literally out here slangin’ sacks of seeds on corners.)

I’m planting seeds in the content I create and in the mindset I plant in my students.

As the episode artwork states: You don’t reap the rewards the day you plant the seed.

Today, I’m going to convince you to join me and my students in the seed planting business.

It’s about mastering the mindset of:

Making intentional moves
Trusting the creative process
Waiting patiently for your seeds to sprout.

Let’s plant some seeds, shall we?

Leveraging Side Projects Outside Your Day Job

Today’s guests have built boomin’ empires both solo and together by creating side projects outside their day jobs.

I’m talking about Femke van Schoonoven and Charli Prangley who make waves in the digital world of design, marketing, and education.

When they’re not crushing their day jobs, they’re building engaged communities via their solo Twitters, YouTube Channels, and notable podcast: Design Life.

In today’s episode, Femke, Charli, and I chat about leveraging side projects outside a day job and how to scale those projects with consistency.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and looking for a sign that you’re on the right path, then we got you covered like a blanket today.

Grizzly Wheeler, Matt Dawson, & Jason Craig on Motivating Yourself

Leveraging Side Projects Outside Your Day Job

Today’s special episode is all about motivating yourself.

I’m hella humbled and extra jolly to bring back Jason Craig, Grizzly Wheeler, and Matt Dawson—all on one episode.

These are some of the most driven, talented, and down-to-earth humans I know.

In today’s episode, we’re going deep on:

Staying inspired to continually elevate your craft.
Making shit happen on your own terms, despite your circumstances.
Not tying your identity to your work.
Defining your own picture of success.
Showing yourself in your work, not just the highlight reels, and more.

If you need to light a fire under your biscuits and have someone keep shit real and shoot it straight, you’re going to dig this one.
