Today's guest is Zach Newton. He is a Senior Graphic Designer at Hallmark Greeting Cards and also the HMFIC at Newton Design Co in Kansas City MO. 

During this episode we talk about:

-how his journey to be a designer at Hallmark Greeting Cards started in Grade 4, what happened, and how he landed the job 15 years later. 

-the project where he brought Anthem Singing greeting cards back from the ashes.

-how he is involved with print and print design everyday. 

-the struggle with burnout with a busy side hustle, family, and day job he enjoys. 

-where and how he finds his side hustle clients and work. 

-LinkedIn and I share some big time tips on how to find and land your dream client using it. 

-the project he was a part of where there was 2 red flags waving and he still went for it. What happened, and what he learned.

-the stigma and trying to break that stigma around designers sharing their rates.

Zach surprised me with is great stories! He was happy to share even when it got a wee bit uncomfortable when I was asking him about his rates and how he feels about them. Really great designer, and all around great guy! Plus...horse milk? @znewton
