We have another BEST HITS episode for you today.

To date, this one easily ranks as one of the top 3 most shared episodes...that’s because Maggie is a rockstar and packs an absurd amount of McValue Nuggets for freelancing artists and designers.

Today’s guest, Michael Fugoso “AKA Fugstrator,” epitomizes everything I preach in terms of leveraging a day job to fuel the dream job.
He’s freelanced with behemoths like Space X, Nasa, and Boeing (to name a few).
However, while he went BACK to working a day job, he’s still finding his side hustle groove and focusing on educational content for the Fugstrator brand.
You can take his Digital Illustration: Paper Pop-Up Style Skillshare class here.
In today’s episode, Mike and I talk shop about how full-time freelance is over-glorified, the pressures of social media, quantity leading to quality, and more!
If you need some validation and encouragement to leverage your day job to chase your dream job, this episode was made for you.

I’m in the seed planting business.
(And, no, I don’t mean that I’m literally out here slangin’ sacks of seeds on corners.)

Today, I’m going to convince you to join me and my students in the seed planting business.
It’s about mastering the mindset of:
Let’s plant some seeds, shall we?
