Follow the spark, not the score - with Paul Hughes

from Imperfect Creatives · host Michael Carruthers

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hughes, who's career is far from the traditional 9-5, being that he's worked as everything from travelling salesman, military photography, radio host, to now running AFN Europe's radio programming across 15 stations, 8 countries, and 4 timezones. We talk about the struggle of finding work that's truly meaningful, following the spark of excitement in creative work without getting bogged down by the 'score' of ambition, and why putting yourself out there might be the only way forward, even when imposter syndrome keeps whispering that you don't belong.If you've ever decided it's too late to chase something that feels impossible, this conversation might change your mind.Resources mentioned"Awaken the Giant Within" by Tony Robbins - Paul's book recommendation "A Hard Kick in the Nuts" by Steve-O
