#21 Letting Go of the "Dream Job" for the "Dream Life" | Phil Lashley, Motion Graphics Designer

“When you become just a number, not a person, but just a number there to execute the work, It's not sustainable. But I had invested so much in this and the pivot felt like a failure. I needed a change, but I didn't know what to change to since this was all I knew.” - Phil Lashley, Motion Graphics Designer Phil grew up in Barbados with three brothers in a middle-income family where their primary entertainment was their own imagination. After becoming fascinated with TV and visual motion design, he developed the the dreamed of becoming a motion graphics designer. His vision, hard work and commitment led him all the way to the "dream job" working in Hollywood on some of the most successful movies of all time. While Phil was honored to have made it all the way, he felt that his life was slowly eroding. That his dream job had in fact, taken over his entire life. Health problems started to show and he knew that something had to change. But after so much time, energy, resources and money had been invested in his education, it felt daunting to even consider what came next. Pivoting to a new career felt like a failure. Carving out a new path for himself has been incredibly challenging, yet also a beautiful process of self-discovery and personal growth. Now Phil travels the world with his wife helping entrepreneurs use the power of motion graphics to tell more engaging stories across new media platforms. On the podcast, Phil walks us through his proprietary framework called, FRAME, which he used to help guide his clients towards a higher level story that helps share their message in a more resonate, creative and profitable way.
