Are you pouring your heart into your creative work and seeing nothing in return?
In this episode, Chris Do breaks down one of the hardest truths creatives face: what to do when you're grinding with nothing to show for it. If you’re stuck in a job that pays but drains your soul, or chasing your dream while broke—this conversation is for you.
🎯 Learn how to:
Separate passion from skill—and why that matters
Get brutally honest about your talent and time investment
Balance survival jobs while pursuing purpose
Rebuild your confidence when results don't show
Break free from safety nets that keep you stuck
