Creative Hustle Brendan Wu & Maxim Vidricaire

Welcome to our first Touchpoint episode where we sit down one-on-one, Brendan and Max, to bring you up to speed on where we are in life. The format here is very loose as we try and let the conversation flow naturally so that we can share content with you like you were a part of the conversation.

In this Touchpoint, we talk about our experience in making the most out of opportunities as many of our friends find themselves in transitional phases, whether that be school to workforce, employer to employer, partner to partner, etc. As our generation faces more and more pressure to stand out and become the next Uber founder, it's important to keep focused on what really matters to you. The conversation also flows to fashion and consumerism as both of us actively participate in the streetwear/sneaker communities. How many sneakers is too many, and more importantly why do people buy luxury goods to begin with? Let us know where you stand on this one!

Have a busy day at work? Thats why you need to have hobbies, to unwind, keep focused, and keep yourself sharp. This week, Brendan talks with Sagar, an analyst from Accenture, on the importance of having being creative and having a hobby outside of work.

Also on the docket, Sagar and Brendan discuss why not having time isn't an excuse to get active and make time for having a hobby and developing and balancing skills outside of work.

Have you ever been undermined by someone else because of your age? Ever been told that you were "too young to get it"? On this episode of the Creative Hustle, Max sits down with Ottawa local Kesha McInnis to talk about the transition out of high school into the world as well as the decisions that many of us will face in a lifetime.

I first met Kesha (keh-shah) a year ago and ever since I have been impressed with her level of ambition and maturity for a 17-year-old. That's right, she's just about to graduate high school. Let me ask you a question: what were you doing at 17? Well let me tell you that I was far from well-spoken and as productive as Kesha back in the day. To further my point, I'm sure that many people Kesha's age would much rather be playing Fortnite than waking up early on a Sunday to record a podcast...

From photography, to connecting with Ottawa creatives, to social work and perhaps to videography, Kesha is currently going through the application process for college which is a daunting task for many. Well, here's to making a choice and trusting that it will all pan out. Whatever the path you ultimately select, I am excited to see what the future holds for you - keep up the great work, Kesha!
