Our past experiences have the ability to positively or negatively impact and shape the future versions of ourselves.
So many times we let the bad things we’ve done or the things we don’t like in life define us. In reality, we should push our story forward by using those experiences as a guide to strive to do the best and to be the best we can.
As creatives, I feel we should constantly experiment, share our weird and let our freak flag fly. Your experiences, interests and quirks are the secret ingredients that’ll help you rise above the noise. Sprinkling in a dose of kindness will really add gas to the fire.
This brings me to today’s guests of Rogie King and Justin Mezzell.
Rogie King is a prolific coder, developer and illustrator who can name every Disney character from A-Z.
Justin Mezzell has built a stone solid reputation for his illustrations and witty yet whimsical copywriting. His love for Pokemon and people are second to none.
Together this dynamic duo makes up Super Team Deluxe, a collaborative funhouse that churns out merch that speaks to your soul.
Hold Onto Your Biscuits
Within this whirlwind of a ping pong conversation that feels like it’s fueled by your favorite caffeinated childhood soda JOLT, there is an abundance of value, encouragement and vulnerability tucked between the humor.
Hold onto your biscuits as we navigate topics of:
- Making a positive statement about who you are
- Creating work that aligns to your identity
- Finding an outlet that lights you up
- Cultivating an inclusive creative community
- Jesus jazz hands, Jaffar and Scyther
Most importantly, they let you see the value of why it’s okay to work at your day job while grinding on your dream
