Ever wonder why some crazy, talented Graphic Designers struggle with their careers while other, less talented Graphic Designers have long, fulfilling and successful careers? 
Is it merely luck, or is it the unwavering commitment to growth that sets them apart?
In the dynamic world of graphic design, talent alone isn't enough.

Join us this week on The Angry Designer Podcast as we dig into why hustling and relentless determination are the true secret ingredients to becoming a successful in Graphic Designer.  In this eye-opening episode, we discuss:

The Talent Myth:
We unpack the dangerous belief that sheer talent is the only path to making it big in graphic design, and why this couldn't be further from the truth.

Defining Hustle vs. Talent:
Discover the components of hustle that can push your design limits, from skill development to resilience, and why they’re more critical than you think.

The Reputation Riddle:
Is being known for talent or for hustle better for your career? We explore the long-term effects of both reputations in the graphic design industry.

Real-Life Hustlers:

Design Icons’ Secrets:

Underdogs & Late Bloomers:
