The Myth of Making It

The Myth of Making It

Have you ever felt like success is just a carrot on a stick? Let's talk about it. Together, along with other artists, creatives, and passionate humans, let's create conversations about what it means to tackle all the different aspects of making an impact (big or small) in your life and community. The Myth of Making It allows a wide variety of voices and opinions from humans from all walks of life. Guest artists' views are 100% their own, and their opinions may or may not be reflective of our company and values. Please practice kindness and understanding when listening in.
