Working

Finding Your Why

The hosts discuss the importance of having a creative purpose.

Episode Notes

For this week’s episode of Working Overtime, hosts Ronald Young Jr. and June Thomas take out their microscopes and examine what gives them purpose and where it comes from. For Ronald, finding creative independence led him to self-publish his own podcast, despite the financial risks, while June moved across the pond to write her book. With any creative pursuits it’s important to know why we’re doing the thing we’re doing so we can understand our goals and what sacrifices we might have to make to achieve them.
