Today's the day! If you're worried about whether you can work in the industry and still have a 'normal' life, this is the episode for you. Learn from industry veterans Rebecca and David, who were kind enough to have a virtual sit down with us to share their wisdom!

Can I work in animation and have a normal life? Is the industry all just all-nighters and unpaid overtime? In episode 13, we chat with married couple and industry vets Rebecca @reblynk and David @stodoe, to answer these questions and more as we discuss work life balance!
