Welcome to Episode 3 of The What It Do Podcast with Larios!

In this episode, I caught up with my longtime friend and former art school partner-in-crime, Kurtis Paddock. We go way back, and it was dope to sit down and reflect on our creative journey—from late nights grinding in art school to watching Kurtis carve out a serious path in the gaming industry.

We talked about:

The wild ride from student to industry proLessons learned working in game design and production.

The importance of creative grit and staying curious.

Advice for up-and-coming artists and designers trying to break into the scene.

Whether you’re a student, a creative professional, or just someone who loves a good “started from the bottom” story, this episode’s packed with gems.

Tap in and hear how hustle and heart can take you places. 🎧🔥
