In today's episode, we've got a great interview with Rob Joyce, whose hobby is weightlifting!

We talk to Rob about the consequences of turning your hobby into a career, and how to pivot it back into a hobby once the work pressures stop it being fun. We also chat about the value of Just Getting Started, and not worrying about getting everything perfect right at the beginning.

PLUS, Kayla talks about her hobby of Art Forgery!
