For this week’s episode of Working Overtime, the hosts Ronald Young Jr. and June Thomas, take out their microscopes and examine what gives them purpose and where it comes from. For Ronald, finding creative independence led him to self-publish his own podcast, despite the financial risks, while June moved across the pond to write her book. With any creative pursuits it's important to know why we’re doing the thing we’re doing so we can understand our goals and what sacrifices we might have to make to achieve them. Do you have questions or advice of your own about the creative process?  Reach out at (304) 933-9675 or email us at [email protected].    Podcast production by Kevin Bendis and Cameron Drews.
