For today’s episode, I’m joined by my first guest of 2026! and I’m so honored to welcome my talented friend Tony Moy, an accomplished watercolor artist, author, and storyteller 🌊🎨   Ten years ago, Tony made a bold leap - transitioning from a Director-level role in technology to turning his lifelong love of art into a full-time business. What makes his journey especially inspiring is how intentionally it unfolded - by blending creative passion with the skills, discipline, and experience he gained throughout his career. 🤍   In this episode, Tony shares his story from working full-time in tech, to moonlighting as an artist, to eventually taking the leap into entrepreneurship. We talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable creative business, the mindset shifts required along the way, and how to know when you’re ready to go all in ✨   Together, we explore: How to find (or reconnect with) your muse or hobby How to build a strong foundation before making the leap What’s truly required - mentally, emotionally, and practically - to turn a passion into a business 💛   Whether you’re an aspiring artist or someone dreaming of turning any passion into a business, Tony offers grounded wisdom, honest perspective, and encouraging advice.   Connect with Tony: 🌐 Website: https://www.tonymoy.art/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tony_moy 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tonyMoy   If you are enjoying these episodes, please feel free to rate, review, & share the show :) And give with @love_and_aloha_life a follow on instagram
