On this week's show, we discuss our philosophy/set of rules to run your career by. Traits that we've taken from and observed within successful creatives. From Patience to Portfolio, Principles to Persistence and many more. We break down each P and what they mean to us.  

Here are the P's: Passion, Patience, Persistence, Principles, Portfolio, Perspective, Process, Purpose, People, Practice, and Pride. 

We encourage you to pick a few of these or all of them and attach your own strong meaning to the word. Live by them and use them as a rail for your career. In the podcast, we discuss why we live by these P's.
