Turning your passion into a paycheque with Fezeka Mkhabela and Brendan Murray
❤️🔥🤑 Creativity vs commercial appeal. Uniqueness vs popularity. Passion vs paying bills. These are the contradictions all creatives must face pretty much on the daily. If you’re serious about a career in this industry, you’ll have to ask yourself a variation of the following questions: How do you keep your creative spark alive when you’re working for the man? What skills do you need to develop and manage multiple income streams? What does it look like to foster an entrepreneurial mindset? Film director and producer Fezeka Mkhabela and voice artist and actor Brendan Murray, both award-winning creatives, generously share their histories and advice in this must-listen episode.
