In part 2 of my conversation with Josh Dykgraaf we continue our discussion about his freelance work and some of his other passions.  Like how he now takes trips across the world just to take photos for his artwork or why he thinks it is important to diversify revenue streams as a freelancer.   You should always be experimenting as an artist but as he advises, the best time is really when you are in school, if you even end up going. Josh recalls that some of the most successful people he knows either didn't go to school or left early. It is important to know who you are, to always work hard and be persistent, get out there and start creating! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/justyouraveragecreative/support
