From Ad Exec To Cartoonist: Retirement Laughs & Lessons I...

What this episode covers

What happens when a creative powerhouse trades the ad world for a life of storytelling, adventure, and clumsy Spanish in Barcelona? I sat down with Darryl Kluskowski—award-winning cartoonist and children's author—to talk about his journey from agency exec to expat artist. He told me how he finds inspiration in unexpected places (including the bathroom—his latest book, The Flush Files, is certainly on-brand). Tune in for the laughs and stay for the life lessons as he walks me through a typical day of happy retirement in Spain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
