Let the Work Speak, with Exploits Mutale

I like that and this could be out there for a lot of people that are pursuing stuff that are unconventional in terms on there's so many we have so many options now and we're taking different paths there's now the creative industry you can be a creator how does one make money out of that so it's so great to listen to somebody that took a path that wasn't the linear path at that time and still able to make it.

I think for anybody out there who is trying to make it in an industry that is unconventional, they'll find that very inspiring.

But if they happen not to have a mentor and not to have parents that are supportive, what advice would you give them?

um my mentor likes saying this one thing he says believe you're great before anyone else before anyone else does that so have that belief in yourself before anything if people don't see the vision as long as you have it and you know where you want to go um just hold on to that people will discourage you uh people will say a lot of things but hold on to that keep going for it and one day you'll become an overnight success even if it takes five years

and the key thing it really did take five years yes

because

i think sometimes we we feel like success just happens for people but then we don't realize that it took so many years for it to actually happen i was listening to some of my favorite podcasters and they're like oh no my podcast and being profitable after four or five years and i was like i'm just two years and i'm here complaining about my podcast not making money i really need more patience a lot of stuff just require a lot of patience

it really does And I think, sorry, I think a part of the problem is we're expecting to see results like yesterday.

If you start going to the gym today, you're not going to see that progress today.

It might take months, sometimes even a year.

And same as when you start investing.

So people want it right now when that's not the case.

we are an instant gratification generation though so everything does come in at that moment we are not the people that are waiting for dragon ball to play at 17 every day for five days we're like we'll just

stream it

and be done yeah so it's really different yeah the capitalism people really changed the system so we're all trying to fit in on where it works There's one thing, one means and complaints I see online and these are on AI generated graphics.

We see them.

I don't like them.

I used to generate them, but I don't like them.

What's your take on that? You are an art designer.

This is your work.

This is... what you do for a living to earn money.

What do you think about them? And do you think AI will take over the role you play on delivering the work that you do?

Okay.

Before I answer that, have you stopped using it to create posters?

Not really.
