Don't Quit Your Daydream with Jason and Angela Hayes

Seven years ago, I commissioned a hand-lettered print from artist and designer Angela Hayes that reads, "Don't Quit Your Daydream".  It's sat on my desk ever since. Days after resigning from my career in corporate, I invited Jason and Angela Hayes on the podcast to compare notes on the liberating feeling of handing in your notice, becoming self-employed, and what it's like to wake up alarm-clock free those first few weeks.In this powerful conversation, Jason Hayes shares wisdom he's gained after 4 years of running a successful online business, and how he pulled together the courage to leave stability to chase his dreams. He recounts becoming TikTok famous, his head space the months leading up to his big leap, and the day he knew it was time to leave and focus full time on his E-bay re-seller business. His wife Angela shares some hilarious and inspiring words on her "free spirit" attitude towards change, collaboration in marriage and artistry, and treating life as a big experiment. Angela illustrates her own journey starting her Etsy business, how selling prints served as a vessel for her to pour light and love into the world, and  how she found grace to allow that project to evolve and release as she shifted her focus onto her latest creation - starting a family. Whether you're creative-curious, or fantasizing at your desk about doing your own thing, this conversation might just inspire you to make your own big leap.  If you're looking for a sign, this is it.  Sometimes a little nudge is all we need.
