"When Passion Doesn't Pay The Bills": Navigating Purpose, Broke Seasons & Having to Let Go | Ep 18

Many of us have thought about the benefits of turning our gifts into a career or side hustle, but this road isn’t an easy one. Perfecting our passions can take time, but we can feel a sense of purpose and pride in our talents when we do. With economic uncertainty for people across the globe, wanting to take control of our own careers and finances seems more appealing, so we wanted to get real about the pros and cons of diverting the traditional job roles in pursuit of creativity and pouring into others.

How do we know when to take a risk with our careers and how do we strike the right balance between work, rest and play? Watch as our host Rachel Calland, is joined by guests Matilda Egere-Cooper and Courtney Daniella Boateng at the Magnify Studio for Ep 18 When Passion Doesn’t Pay the Bills.
