In this energising episode of Career Horizons, host Bennett Van Wyk sits down with creative power couple Eden Toohey-Ogle and Mario Ogle to explore how to transform your passion into a profitable, purpose-filled business.
Whether you're a student with a side hustle, a creative trying to find your niche, or someone navigating how to turn your talent into a sustainable income stream — this conversation is packed with real stories, mindset shifts, and practical tools to help you take the next step.
Together, we unpack:
- How to move from hobby to hustle
- Finding your creative lane and niche
- The mindset needed to monetise what you love
- What to do when passion meets burnout
- Practical starting points for launching your creative business
Meet the Guests:
🎨 Eden Toohey-Ogle is a strategist and creative producer who has worked with brands like adidas Originals, Spotify, and STIHL. Her work is rooted in cultural intelligence, creative clarity, and deep respect for people and purpose. Eden is passionate about connecting the dots — from insight to idea, and from idea to action.
🎤 Mario Ogle is a creative director with a strong pulse on youth and internet culture. With over a decade of experience, and a background as a recording artist, Mario builds culturally relevant campaigns that are both artistically authentic and commercially sound.
Key Takeaways:
- You don't have to wait to be "ready" — start small and grow from where you are.
- Passion becomes profitable when you learn to treat it like a business.
- Finding your lane is a journey of self-awareness, experimentation, and community feedback.
- Burnout is real — staying inspired requires healthy boundaries and consistent rest.
- Monetising your gift doesn't mean selling out — it means showing up with clarity and courage.
