Episode Description

It seems simple enough, doesn’t it? You’ve known forever that you were born an artist. Over a lifetime, you work in the jewelry business, paint paintings, and create greeting cards. Producing beautiful paintings was nice and people appreciated them, yet that work didn’t seem to register as having the impact on the community in the way you would like. Exactly how do you elevate yourself to living your purpose with those artistic innate talents and make the difference to which you so aspire? Join the conversation to hear how Marty Ruiz did just that, managing to turn his volunteer hobby to sing into a paid, fulfilling vocation that allows him comfortable work-life integration.
