The Eye Podcast

In this episode we welcome back Jon Willey to the show as we talk with Dan Goldfarb, Graphic Designer for the Carolina Panthers. What brought about the conversation was a tweet Dan posted a week or so ago:"The day I leave the sports industry is the day my mental health changes for the better."This prompted me to reach out to Jon immediately because this was exactly the type of situation we discussed in our previous conversation. We talk about different things that we could do to start taking action so that creatives like Dan can stop feeling like their industry is not worth the time and effort.IG: Dan - @theclassicdanJon -@ jwilleyphotoTwitter: Dan - @degartsJon - @jonwilley
