Orion VonOntjes (Artist/Podcaster)

Happy New Year!
In this episode I decided to turn the mic on myself and have my lovely wife Julie host!
This was an important lesson for me and it was more difficult than I anticipated. The reason I recorded this episode is because I never recorded an introduction episode explaining exactly what I’m doing here. This episode might give you some insight as to why I started this thing and what I intend to accomplish. I also wanted to take this time to thank all of my guests for donating their time! I very much appreciate it. I feel that I still have much to learn about the podcasting world and I hope to blast this thing as far as it can go.

How is it possible to accomplish big creative things while working 60 hours a week? I don’t think anyone has a very good answer. All we can do is try and work on these things when we can. In this episode Micah and I chat about accountability with partnership, finding time to do our creative work, eating out everyday, and how much leftovers suck sometimes.
