From underground fashion shows in Belfast to building a global storytelling business, Esther Mogada shares the messy reality of turning creativity into a profession.

In this episode, Esther talks about quitting her part-time job during the pandemic with nothing but a $47 filmmaking course, the insecurity of being self-taught, nearly losing her business after becoming a mother, and the painful transition from passionate creative to professional business owner.

We also explore storytelling, identity, ambition, motherhood, and why "integration" has become the defining theme of this season of her life.
