Ivo Gasparotto is a software designer who recently started working for himself as a freelancer. And he's one of my oldest friends! Ivo and I were roommates when we moved to Chicago together in the early 2000s and remain good friends to this day. We talk about our early days getting by on very little money, the importance of keeping your spending in check, and the cushion that saving & investing provided when he decided to go freelance. 

Ivo's question for Tim: Was there anything that brought you joy so far this year?

Key takeaways:

1. Early inspirations and how they shaped Ivo's artistic vision.
2. His approach to design, aesthetics, and the creative process.
3. The importance of working with others and building strong creative networks.
4. Managing personal time while staying productive.
5. Practical takeaways for those entering the creative industry.
