<p>Hi I&#39;m Zack, and the purpose of my work is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours (without burning out...or selling your creative soul).</p><p>If you&#39;ve built your entire career around your creativity like I have, you may be asking the same question I am: <strong><em>Is there a future for us “creatives,” Or is it game over? </em></strong>I can&#39;t promise that I know what the future brings, but I do promise few are more dedicated to helping you find the answers than I am.</p><p><strong>You&#39;re in the right place if:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>You live to create.</strong> Your work isn&#39;t just a job but an expression of who you are.</li><li><strong>You create to live.</strong> Your livelihood depends on your creativity.</li><li><strong>You love making cool shit.</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Whether you identify as introverted or neurodivergent (or both, like me)...</p><p>No matter if you&#39;re a misfit, a rebel, an outlier, or a troublemaker...</p><p>If you&#39;ve been called weird, nerdy, dorky, quirky, or awkward...</p><p>Or if you’re an over-thinker, procrastinator, or perfectionist…</p><p>You are welcome here. 😊</p><p>Come join me as I have honest, authentic, and candid conversations with NYT bestselling authors, Oscar and Emmy winners, experts across many different industries, and ordinary humans achieving extraordinary things.</p>
