This week Pablo and Trevor try to tackle some big questions; when is it the right time to move on to a new job, what’s most important in a job, what sacrifices are you willing to make, and what are your realities of life? We dive into our career fears, what causes them, what we think we should come first instead, and what we think the future may hold. Strap horses to your cowboy boots, this one is getting heavy!

This week we talk about how much, and how little, age matters to your career in art.
