In this episode, the show features an in-depth conversation with a husband-and-wife duo who run a small art and design agency, The Medium. They recount their early days balancing day jobs while freelancing, their humble start in 2003, and how they gradually quit their jobs once they had enough clients. The couple reflects on creative struggles, resourcefulness (like buying and returning a laptop for a presentation), and their gradual hiring of crucial team members, including their first designer and developer. They discuss their evolving approach to client work, the importance of maintaining a balanced work-life environment, and their philosophy on staying small yet impactful. The conversation also delves into their personal creative pursuits outside the business, their philosophies on design education, hiring practices, and the professional dynamics between them. Overall, the episode offers a candid look at the trials, triumphs, and thoughtful decisions that have shaped their business and personal lives in the creative field.
