531 - Risks that Land Big Jobs, Be Your Own Client & Find Your Sound with Composer Oli Julian

Feeling lost on the creative journey? Download our 7 step Creative Career Path Handbooklet for FREE by signing up to our newsletter [http://andyjpizza.substack.com/]: http://andyjpizza.substack.com [http://andyjpizza.substack.com/] --- If you’re used to doing work for clients, it can be tough to then create your own solo project. On the other hand, if you’re only used to doing your own thing, working for a client can feel impossible! How do you find yourself and your creative voice in the mix of all of this? This is one of the many topics I dive into on today’s episode with Composer Oli Julian. Oli is the composer for Netflix’s new animated Roald Dahl adaptation of “The Twits”, and has a huge wealth of experience doing music for television for the likes of Sex Education and The Complete Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin. This was a guest from a very different side of the creative industry, hope you enjoy!

Illustrator, Comic Artist and YouTuber Fran Meneses is a long time friend of the show and it’s been 6 years since her last episode! We dive deep into: 1 - When mental health “gets in the way” of your creative plans and what has seemed to help both of us. 2 - How to think about creative crossroads and let go of things that don’t serve where you want to go and double down on the path you do want to take. 3 - How the pandemic impacted both of our careers and shaped out creative focus moving forward. This chat was a blast and filled me with so much hope and comfort.
