"Craft your life intentionally—some seasons require more focus on earning, others allow more focus on creating. Both serve your wholeness." - Rod Pancine

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Rod Pancine in a heart-to-heart about finding wholeness as a creative professional. Rod explains his breakthrough moment when he stopped seeing his commercial design work as competing with his art and instead embraced it as enabling his creative expression.

On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
