In this honest conversation, Anthony reveals the real grind of consulting life: living out of suitcases, working in airport offices for European airlines, and the constant tension between financial security and creative fulfillment.
Anthony shares how he finally made the leap from a lucrative partner track to full-time animation, why he calls creativity "the hobby that wouldn't die," and his advice for having multiple careers over his working life.
If you've ever felt trapped between what you "should" do and what sets your soul on fire, this episode will give you permission to take the scenic route—and maybe even a roadmap for how to weave in and fund your creative dreams along the way.
