Today I am talking with Alex Cooper about the impact of ignoring your creative calling. Spoiler, don’t do it! For Alex, this looked like him quitting his job on the spot after he realised just how important it was for him to follow his creativity. Performance from Jazz vocalist Emma Smith, and a letter from a listener on finding your creative focus when ife distractions have pulled you off track.
