This chat features Eugene Fong, who Terry Ibele met through a pitching workshop at the Toronto Animated Image Society.

Instead he does global supply chain as his day job, but he’s currently researching everything he can to make the jump into animation - something Ibele did just a few years ago. So, in this chat you’ll hear them talk about the risks of switching careers later in life, their plans on how to do it, and the shotgun approach Fong is currently undertaking.This is a super interesting chat if you yourself are thinking of switching careers into animation.
