Why do our creative journeys twist and turn in unexpected ways?
This episode opens with a nostalgic throwback to one of the first times Aaron and Seth met during an Instagram Live exchange five years ago. Taking inspiration from a listener’s suggestion, we reflect on how we met, got started, earned our first dollar behind the camera, and how our motivations as creators have evolved over time.
We unpack early successes, setbacks, and key lessons that continue to shape our creative journeys. Along the way, we explore staying motivated, maintaining balance, and pivoting when necessary—all while staying true to passion and purpose.
