Passion Meets Purpose: Why Our Communities Need Thriving Artists

Adam McKay—the writer, director, and producer of Academy Award nominated satire Don’t Look Up—was recently on the SmartLess Podcast and memorably said that our world right now is like a bouncy castle full of hyenas and long-stemmed wine glasses.

And if we’ve figured out both of those things, we might be trying to situate our passion and purpose in the big picture. What’s the magic sauce for creating a healthy, functional creative practice that sustains us and contributes our best to our curiously-changing and uncertain world?
