It’s notoriously difficult to pursue art as a career, but plenty of people do. Their stories might surprise you. They might also help you decide whether you will be most happy pursuing your art as a career, a side hustle, or a hobby. (Artistic Careers is a rebrand of the Entrepreneurs & Artists podcast.)

Andrew Auseon is an author, writer, and game developer. His most recent novel, Spellbinders: The Not-So-Chosen One, tells the story of Ben, a 12-year-old boy whose parents have recently divorced, he's had to move to a new town, he's feeling kind of lost, and he's longing for someone to remind him that he's still special, the hero of his own story. In this conversation, we talked about intentionally creating space for reader agency inside a story, how the narratives of books and video games align and differ, leaning into and honoring the things in life that give us energy, creating special memories with your kids, and much more.
