How do you find your calling? What if it turns out to be different than what you expected? What can we do to stay happy, inspired and energized as artists? Can helping other learn and grow play a role in our long term sense of satisfaction?

Our guest this week is Paul Richards

Paul has worked in the gaming industry for many many years. With a variety of triple A titles under his belt like Darksiders, Halo and currently Fortnite, Paul has a wealth of information to offer. He also has a charismatic and engaging manner of teaching others to find their own way. The teaching material he has collected in various locations around the internet have become bibles and sacred text for those seeking knowledge about the philosophy and techniques of design.
