#3 hits hard. That feeling of aging and time not being on your side has been a huge obstacle in my creative life, convincing me I don’t have the time to build something again only to have it be a fart in the wind. It’s something I’ve been grappling with and is actually the central premise of a new project I’m now knee deep in.
With a few small edits this could be my life story right now too! I feel like I’m completely starting from scratch (of course I’m not, I have all of my experience up to now). But starting something at 49 vs when I started my design firm at 25 is so vastly different. We can do it! 💪
I can relate to this as I’m in a pivot myself. I find this affirming and the comments of the others here. Congrats on the new agency!!
Thank you, Stephanie. What‘a going on in your pivot?
That’s a private message lol
Ooh, saucy.
Your new venture, Signal & Scale has got the right mix of copy and edgy design I like! WOW, you’re awesome!! 😎 I’d work with you!!
Thanks, Tess. I appreciate it.

Interesting. Is this different than the fighting characters?
It is, albeit fighting game related.
So for the vagueness, I wasn’t planning to talk about it until I have more concrete work done but your newsletter point #3 is a big part of it lol.
Noted.
Thanks so much for the mention! And as someone who had to change career in her 40s, this is very relatable to me, too!
Thanks for penning that post. Now you know what's coming for you in your 50s. 😂

Let’s F**king GO!
Thanks, Jen.
I listened to this today and a lot of it really resonated: https://jonathanfields.substack.com/p/2x20-update-6-months-of-new-experiments
Wow, what a great concept. Love this.
