What We Thought We Wanted: Chasing Creative Goals, Awards, and Freedom
In this episode, Brad and Dustin get candid about the career goals they chased in their 20s. They talk about titles, awards, creative recognition, and how those ambitions evolved.
You’ll hear stories about near-broke early careers, chasing mimetic desires (thanks, Wanting), the messy pursuit of “success,” and the quiet realization that a Coke tastes the same whether you’re rich or not.
They also share how family, burnout, and unexpected wins like Skillshare courses shaped their career paths.
Whether you’re just starting out or rethinking what matters, this one’s for anyone navigating the long game of creative life.
