Ever feel like tech work has turned you into a robot? Just crank out code, stay in your lane, and don’t ask too many questions? Yeah—same.

→ Find Out If You're Ready To Go Solo in Tech

In this real, unfiltered coaching session, I work with Charlie—a creative technologist who’s been wrestling with how to bring *real* artistry back into his work. After running his own 3D animation business and helping other creatives thrive, he’s now stuck between paying the bills with soul-draining contracts... and figuring out how to build a career where he actually gets to make things that matter. We talk about time management, identity, and how hard it is to self-promote when your creativity feels personal.

If you’re a developer or designer who’s ever wondered “How do I get back to making stuff I care about?”, this one’s for you.
