Disney is HUGE and powerful company. No one is denying that but due to their power the decisions they make can have a ripple effect of the Creative Industries. I discuss some of the big trends Disney has made in recent years and how that effects all of us as Creative people and how they are shaping the future of Creatives. These topics can often be overlooked or easily dismissed but I think they are some of the most important to discuss these things because Media is powerful and it shapes how we see the world.  As always I am open to a discussion or if anyone else has a different opinion...

In this episode I discuss my struggles with finding balance in my creative endeavours and the steps I am ATTEMPTING to take to balance it all out.
