Passion Stories with Free To Flourish
Welcome to the Passion Stories Podcast, a conversational series that features people who have made career transitions into work they feel fulfilled with, or started their own passion business.
We talk about when they decided to make the change, why they do the work they do, what helped them overcome obstacles with the transition, and any tips that they would give to others sitting on the idea of making these big changes.
People from the environmental, social change, health and wellness, and creative industries come on to share their story in hopes to inspire others to go after their own professional dreams.

Jeff and Julia talk about their struggles in the traditional school system and how they both came to find meaning and purpose once they started studying and working in the art industry.
They talked about how meaningful their nonprofit work is and that they are able to give students a space to learn and grow and develop life skills in each mural project.
The two bring different strengths to their collaborative projects and continue to learn from the variety of tasks and obstacles that come up with each project.
