What's new in your realm of possibility?
Keep this question in mind as your listening to our guest on this episode.
She's Sarah Cogan, an absolutely talented film and tv designer.
In the film and tv space, Sarah has seen and done it all - costume design, lighting design, production and concept design.
In this episode, Sarah shares her origin story (one that I am jealous of), where her fondness for performance as art was ignited at just 8 years old while watching a performance of Twelfth Night.
She shares the challenges she faced when, after pursuing becoming a performer in her youth, had surgery that left her unable to pursue acting - and how her passion and desire for performance art allowed her to pivot in costume design.
Sarah opens up about the challenges that people often face when entering the film and tv production world - gaps in communication, people having to take on extra roles and responsibilities without preparation, strong personalities.
She shares with us her desire to help make the film and tv world a better experience for those working in the industry - especially so because of the enduring impact that movies and tv shows have on us.
We learn about Sarah creating SetReady Garment Bags out of necessity, and the opportunities that have come from filling that need.
She also shares with us her podcast, Designing the Void, where she has conversations that dive deep into all things film design, and the people behind the camera that make that happen.
Sarah also shares with us a course that she recently launched, Visual Storytelling and Worldbuilding for Filmmakers.
Sarah's creativity, passion and energy flow pervasively through this episode, and I'm sure you'll experience that as you listen!

Adulthood: Revisited
I dunno about y'all, but in the last few years I've been trying to figure who I am.
I've asked myself who am I as a person, as a man, as a partner in relationship, who am I in business.
I wonder if who I am is really who I want to be
If not, when did it change, and what can I do to tap into who I really want to be.
If you've asked yourself questions like these, then I invite you to join me on this journey, Adulthood: Revisited.
