Carl Smith and I discuss transitioning from a busy digital agency to a remote work setup brought lessons in autonomy, collaboration, and balance. In this episode, we share our journey of working with industry giants like Facebook and Epic Games, navigating the risks of overcommitting, and fostering diverse client relationships and creative spaces. We also explore personal growth through fear, martial arts, stoicism, and how practices like meditation, running, and community support shaped our leadership, especially during the pandemic. With stories of friendship, gratitude, and resilience, we reflect on the moments and mementos that symbolize growth and enduring connections.
