I will say that throughout my career I have been very fortunate to always have work that I enjoy and love, but there's a difference between something that's enjoyable and something that's meaningful.

When I got the the definition of meaningful work in Outliers it just reaffirmed me that I needed to finally take the leap and start my own studio. Now I can create the opportunity for meaningful work for myself as well as create a culture that promotes other individuals to thrive. There is so much more to enjoy when you don't have to focus on how many clients can we get through, get employees to work 60+ hour weeks, and mediocre work.

After a lot of preparation I resigned from my "good" job and fully went independent this week to pursue meaningful work. 2009 is going to be an incredible year.
