About this podcast
Hello and thank you for joining us! We're Raven and Faranir, and we're embarking on a quest to leave the 9-5 grind behind and instead, pursue a life of fulfilment in creative work that we actually enjoy! This is ground zero, our starting point. Unlike other podcasts, we're not going to tell you how we made millions and which magic tricks will change your life, because we simply haven't done it yet. We're starting from the beginning and using this podcast to document our journey, so you get to come along with us in real-time to see what worked, what didn't work, what we could've done better as we try to make a living across the realms of Twitch, YouTube, Podcasting, Graphic Design, Audio Engineering and Photography. How much can people really make from these avenues? Is it really possible to turn your hobbies and passions into a comfortable, fulfilling living and leave the day job behind? Let's find out! This is day one. Join us on the Quest and see how far we can take this!
*New episodes usually on Sundays!*
