Going to Vancouver Film School for 3D animation and VFX was an incredible experience that changed my life as an 18 year old fresh from high school.
Intense, fast paced education to learn a specific skill with highly creative people in a school of some of the best up and coming artists in the world. Incredible, singular experience.
The teachers and mentors all from the film and games industry created some incredible opportunities for us.
I was able to get a job from one of my mentors who worked as the Head of Lighting at MPC working on Detective Pikachu and Aquaman.
The year there at the studio was awesome, and a time I feel I took for granted in hindsight. Easy to do as a fresh 20 year old with a chip on his shoulder...
Since getting laid off due to MPC Vancouver shutting down, I went off and found my own way in the world making so many blunders... Finding myself and crafting incredible stories along the way living in Vietnam...
All while mostly broke and uncertain where the next paycheck will come from.
26 now, I feel nostalgic about what a gift it was to be working in person at a studio in Vancouver surrounded by incredible people working on ambitious projects. I miss it.
But I don't regret anything, even if the path I took was not a standard one where I see a lot of my peers now working as Seniors, Leads and Directors and some of the best production companies in the world, where I'm still kind of bumbling my way through life.
In my time out in the world I learned sales, marketing, branding, creating products, packaging, distribution, networking, leadership, communication, finance, copywriting, mindfulness, resourcefulness, increased perception of self and compassion for myself and my mistakes.
Many times on my path it feels like I have no idea what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and what the point of it all will be...
But now I know that everything passes - the bad times and the good times. As long as I keep going, it is a win. I learn, I grow, I evolve.
I am not destined for a normal life. It is just not in my blood. That does not make be better. It just makes me who I am.
I know that I am destined to continue to shine a bright light on this world, wherever I go.
While I might not know where I may go, I know I am destined for great things because of how much care and love I put in to doing great on the small things that I care about.
Being a great partner, a great friend, a great artist, a great business owner.
I'm in a new season of life transforming my business with great mentorship. I am doing it my way and I am going to absolutely crush it. I already have a potential 6 figure deal I'm pitching to a company that I believe in.
I will make more money and have more impact in 2025 than I will have my entire career combined. I know that deeply. It is already written.
I realize I have learned so much about what it takes to be great at business over the last 6-7 years and again how much more I have yet to learn.
Always a student. Always learning.
Writing this post for myself to reflect back on come 2026.
🚀🙌❤️🔥🚀 2025 is going to be absolutely bananas.
