Escaping the Six-Figure Jail: Julian Castro's Leap from Engineering to Abstract Art
from Wham Bam Thank You Pam · host Pam Gaslow
In this episode of Wham Bam Thank You Pam, Pam sits down with modern abstract artist Julian Castro—who ditched a six-figure engineering gig designing ocean-floor oil systems to paint shirtless in a Miami studio. They talk imposter syndrome, quitting the corporate world, selling your soul (or your painting), and why art might actually be a necessity. From Snoopy closets to cow tipping, it’s an honest, hilarious, and inspiring conversation about choosing creativity over convention—and figuring it out as you go. Oh, and yes, they cover eggs.YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/@whambampampodcast@[email protected]
