"After 25 years in video game development, leading teams at major studios, I thought I had achieved what I was supposed to want. But I started in theater as a young actor, and that creative calling never left me. I pivoted to tech to pay bills, always believing I'd return to the arts someday.
That someday is now. This project isn't just about other people's courage—it's about my own journey back to storytelling, to meaning, to work that feeds rather than drains.
I'm not looking for people who got lucky or had trust funds. I want to meet the ones who calculated the risk, made the leap, and figured out how to land on their feet. The ones who fell and got back up. The ones who prove that following your passion isn't naive—it's necessary—but also that necessity doesn't guarantee success.
As I make this transition myself, I'm documenting not just their journey, but confronting my own fears about leaving financial security for creative fulfillment."
