Episode Details

There was a time when fame and money felt like the end goal: likes, numbers, proximity to power, and the illusion of “making it.”

In this episode, I’m getting painfully honest about my past obsession with visibility and validation, and how I learned to unlearn it.

We talk about redefining success, why quality work matters more than clout, and how chasing recognition can quietly ruin your relationship with creativity.

I also revisit the messy definition of fame, the roots of success, nepotism in the industry, and what it actually means to build something that lasts.

If you’re a creative who’s ever felt torn between art and attention, this one’s for you.
