    How Faith Launched Jock Hiltz Into Animation, Film & Miracles on Exploring the Marketplace (S:5 - Ep 21)

    Today on Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson, we’re joined by Jock Hiltz—Creative Director at Cartoon Conrad Productions and a storyteller whose journey is anything but ordinary. After spending 17 years in the federal government, Jock took a courageous leap into the world of animation, filmmaking, and creative leadership. What began as a small production company in 2012 grew into a decade of hands-on directing, producing, and building unique visual stories—eventually partnering with his best friend Luke Conrad at Cartoon Conrad. Jock shares how faith shaped every step of his career: from praying for divine connections, to unexpected open doors in reality television, to launching his own company that became his full-time work during COVID. He talks about rejection that forged resilience, projects that fell through, and how God continually turned setbacks into new opportunities—including a self-written TV movie now headed into production. You’ll also hear incredible marketplace miracle stories, including how their studio acquired 300 acres through last-minute breakthrough financing and how a surprising call from Will Smith’s Westbrook company unlocked a wave of new collaborations with major YouTubers and entertainment leaders. Jock brings heart, humility, and a faith-filled perspective to both creativity and leadership.
