Wow, thanks Wayne for telling us your story about your career. Yeah, even on KZbin it will not stay the same. I am not here to make money, but I know if I were I am sure this landscape will change too. Who knows how, but it will because everything always does. Great video Wayne.

A fellow VO-er?! Nice. I tend to agree with the idea that, after a period of time, when the side hustle becomes the MAIN hustle, it too, essentially becomes a job like any other; the difference being, however, that I actually preferred the side hustle in the first place, irrespective of its challenges. And so, I make it work because there's DEFINITELY no going back. I think considering content creation is a great move on your part. Hey, you never know!

Wow, it takes courage and hard work to be able to confidently quit a 9-5! But at the same time, it must be liberating to be able to make that decision. So now start your new journey! As long as you're happy, that is what matters most.

I loved sitting here and listening to your story. I think you are brave and it takes a certain kind of person to make these kinds of moves! I never wanted my art practice and photography to be my job. Many people have asked me why I don’t do what I love for a living. I don’t want it to be my living. I want it to be my escape. If it was my living I might be looking to escape it and I wouldn’t want that either. I know you will succeed in whatever it is you decide. You already have many times over.

Hi, I appreciate your authenticity and courage in sharing your story. I'm a first-gen Latina currently 20 years old questioning if pursuing my engineering degree is worth it. If I will be happy in that job. Or miserable. If it's worth stressing over for the next 4 years. Listening to your story really opened my mind and gave me hope. Hope that eventually, we all want change regardless of if we started out loving what we did. Which is beautiful, how capable we are of just evolving and changing. Listening to ourselves and being able to choose to pivot or change course completely. Even if I do end up loving my engineering job, I will eventually want change, more, new experiences and environments. Which I am choosing to believe is a beautiful thing. Any advice or words of wisdom?
