Feeling Burnt Out or Stuck in a Design Rut SUCKS. But here’s the brutal truth: MOST Graphic Designers are sabotaging themselves. Grinding through bad clients, chasing endless projects, and staying trapped in the same broken patterns, all while wondering why things never change.

It’s time to face reality with some tough love.

In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we’re tackling the issues that terrify Graphic Designers most. Joined by coach and creative expert Matt Essam, we unravel the myths about burn out, the design business, expose the traps keeping creatives stuck, and deliver practical, BS-free strategies to break free and take control. 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why creativity alone will NEVER be enough to succeed
  • Dangerous myths keeping Graphic Designers trapped in mediocrity
  • How to build a Graphic Design business that WORKS for YOU
  • The mindset shift every Graphic Designer needs to escape the grind

If you’re tired of feeling burnt out, making excuses, feeling stuck, and ready to do the work, this episode is your roadmap out. The only question is: are you bold enough to listen?
