“‘What’s your backup plan?’ What ‘backup plan’? This is the backup plan. This is the only plan. There is no backup- this is the plan.”
Last week, Steve Jacks made a guest appearance on his brother's podcast! The Discipline Win Podcast focuses on education and leadership, and Steve is genuinely proud of the work Andy is doing there. It was a treat for the two of them to sit down together and talk shop, especially on a subject as personal as this one.
They dug into Steve's own path growing up, including the teachers who took the time to encourage him to chase film editing as a real career rather than just a passing interest. From there, the conversation turned into something bigger: holding onto your dreams, trusting the work you're drawn to, and why Steve believes so strongly in throwing out the idea of a "backup plan" altogether. For anyone with a young person weighing a creative path against a more "practical" one, or figuring that out for themselves, this episode is well worth a listen.
