The Learn Squared Podcast Learn Squared

Senior Art Director Dan Martin is a friendly face over here at Learn Squared being one of our first students when we launched and is a bonafide creative in his own right. And Dan joins us to talk about many things we can all relate to as we move along our creative paths. From finding what your true calling is, how to identify when you need to make a change and over coming obstacles. We also share very personal stories around battling with depression and how we're dealing with it, so whilst not medical adivce we hope sharing and highlighting our lived experiences will be helpful.
