Passion Projects
In this episode we discuss the importance of passion projects—a non-commissioned work that is motivated solely by the maker's conceptual and emotional vision. It’s the act of making that drives you to create. Your desire to put it out into the universe, with no expectations, is ultimately the end result. We examine how passion projects help with sustainability, reinvention, and opening new doors in addition to overcoming stress and burnout. From investments in PR to leveling up a portfolio, we talk about how passion projects are used for professionals, studios, and students alike. We chat about a few people who are constantly improving themselves and their abilities by working on passion projects. Yes, it often takes some time to pay off, but continuous improvement through doing passion projects could lead to making you a hot commodity in the industry—just look at Beeple.
