On today’s episode, I am chatting with Conor Sweetman. Conor’s story is inspirational to me, as he has had the fortune of taking a passion project to a full-time role.

Conor had a side gig creating his magazine called Ekstasis. Ekstasis magazine is made for creatives to revive the Christian Imagination.

Conor would spend weekends editing, writing, and curating creative inspiration for his magazine. At the same time, he worked at a Non-profit in their communication department and later at a financial company in marketing.

You probably have a passion project of your own. Something that you would like to take full time or give more of your effort to. 

Conor’s story will be constructive for you as he talks to us about

• Helping the next generation of creatives thrive and create


• His journey of discovering who he really wanted to be, what he believes, and other reflections on a time of deconstruction


• Setting goals for his magazine and how he would be ok if his dream never came true.
