Today’s guest is a dear, dear friend of mine. We met at university a while back and have remained friends ever since. We’ve seen each other grow, change paths and try new things. It’s an honour to call Jonathan Agomaa my friend.

Jonathan is a creative designer and art director who specializes in designing interactive experiences, products and brand development initiatives. He spent his career leapfrogging across Canada, working as a creative for various industries from advertising agencies, to broadcast/TV, to bricks and mortar retail design.

From working on beer and cheese, to cars and banks, and everything in between, Jonathan has prided himself on diversity and curiosity above all else. Never choosing to stay in one spot, in 2019, he chose to leave the life of 9-5, to begin exploring his own personal and professional ventures.

In today’s episode Jonathan shares: * How he fell into design even though he had another career in mind * How things were great on paper but not aligned to what mattered to him * How burnout made him reevaluate everything he was doing * The importance of taking a step back * The lessons he learned from being a digital nomad * How adopting a curious mindset has helped him create a life around what he values the most
