Watching this made me very emotional. For the past ten years I have been suffocating in the medical field as a doctor because I was one of the kids getting told to get a "serious job". Looking back on my old drawings, there was so much potential that was wasted until I grew up and got a little more control of my life. Today I continue to try and work myself out of the medical field and one day, hopefully, into art. That's where I'm supposed to be. If you visit this video, are in your 20's and you're doubting whether to quit a "serious job" Uni program - hold that thought. Stay with it and don't be afraid to explore this option. In my case, I found Marshall and the Draftsmen podcast a little too late. Knowing what I know today, I would have quit med school immediately and never looked back. If you have strong feelings for what you do, and your body and mind loves the process no matter the temporary problems, it WILL work out in the end.

This guy is just amazing - it puts our artistic struggles into perspective hearing his story - such a humble man - this was a really good listen - thanks Marshall.
