If there’s something you want to do in life, then do that shit.

The beauty of having a job that covers your expenses is that it frees you up to pursue what you want on the side.

Today’s guest, Emir Ayouni, is a prime example of someone who doesn’t make excuses and relentlessly makes the time to grind on his creative dream.

Not only is he one-third of the power trio, The Forefathers Group, but he’s the mastermind behind G.A.R.M. Company: a newly opened boutique-style shop for designer tools, resources, and goods crafted together with some of the most talented designers in the business.

In today’s episode, Emir and I cover:

• Showing the work you want to get.
• The power of sharing your process and existing on all platforms.
• Investing in yourself, especially with the uncertainty of the world.
• Not needing a fancy Art School degree to show you can do the work.
• Leveraging your day job to fuel your side hustle dream, and more.

If you’re tired of settling and ready to make time to grind on what you want, then this episode is for you.
