About the talk
Returning to our Maker Roots
Work is all consuming. It gobbles up your time, leaves little space for your passions, and can ultimately lay claim to your personal identity. It’s a recipe for an existential crisis. You can find the balance you crave and the growth you need by investing yourself in projects outside of your day job.
In this talk, Meredith Black, Bob Baxley, and Aarron Walter share how launching a podcast about the challenges of life helped them grow in ways they’d never expected.
