There is a fine line between people's external perceptions and that being helpful for you or that being harmful for you. You were talking about your friends, your parents, like the people that you trust, that you feel safe with and that really know you. And I'd love from your perspective to understand how do you think about the information that you're getting externally, whether that's other people's opinions or ideas or judgments or even celebrations.
Ever felt like your dream job was slowly draining the life out of you? That's exactly what happened to Phil Lashley. Growing up in Barbados, Phil's imagination was his playground. He dreamed big, eventually making it to Hollywood as a motion graphics designer, working on blockbuster movies. But the glitz and glamour came at a cost. Phil found himself feeling more like a cog in the machine than a creative soul.
Health issues began to surface, and he knew something had to give. In this episode of 'The Art of Lost & Found', host Brooke Estin sits down with Phil to unpack his journey from a middle-income family in Barbados to the high-stakes world of Hollywood. They dive into his early fascination with TV commercials, his rigorous path through art school, and the eventual realization that his 'dream job' was not all it was cracked up to be.
Phil opens up about the daunting task of pivoting away from a career he had invested so much in and how he found new purpose by helping thought leaders bring their visions to life. Phil and Brooke explore themes of curiosity, self-awareness, and the ever-evolving nature of life and work. They discuss how sometimes, letting go of what you thought you wanted can lead you to something even better.
If you've ever questioned your career path or felt the need for a change but didn't know where to start, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartfelt conversation that will leave you thinking about what truly matters in your own life.
