PP 155: Lincoln Design Co. on Hiring Yourself & Leveraging Your Side Hustle

Today’s episode features a squad of goons who can’t turn off the creative switch and were clearly cut from a different cloth. The work they do and at the rapid pace they do it isn’t normal for creatives like you and me.
I’m talking about my homies over at Lincoln Design Co out of the great Pacific Northwest.
Their chief of command, Dan Janssen, has assembled a cast of 5 insanely talented creatives as they slay work for the brand giants of the world like Mattel, Hasbaro, Disney, DreamWorks, Nike, Nickelodean, Google, Hot Wheels….you get the point...but they’re not too proud to crush it for a local mom and pop shop or for creatives like you and me who need that next level personalized touch.
I want to see your notes on this one as Dan and company go deep on:
The power of leveraging your side hustle
Why you should be a swiss army knife vs. a one-trick pony
The magic of personal branding and hiring yourself
Why sacrifices are needed to become great at what you do
Logos, Merch, Creating Fonts, their day-to-day process, pizza, and more!
It’s easy to fall victim to comparison when you see dope work on the daily from these dudes, but use this episode as a heavy dose of creative fuel to be the best version of yourself in 2020 and to take your work to the next level in this new decade.

Great interview, Scotty! Love all the Lincoln Design Co. videos!

[@eliaswitt9086]

Hey loved the podcast- great questions. I’m a freshman graphic design student and those questions regarding those just beginning their journey and how the members got hired were really good.
