MYM #65 Spencer Barber #Squamashii ~ Animation Plus

Spencer Barber is an animator but he also side hustles. He does graphic design, helps people with YouTube SEO and has been an extra in several movies.

You have probably heard people say that the American Dream is dead or that the opportunity
is no longer there. I beg to differ, I say stop doing stuff that you don’t want to do. Spencer is the perfect example of doing what it is that he wants to do.

He has been thinking about this from a very young age. Wait until you hear about the thinking chair.

I am impressed with all of his knowledge at such a young age. I often talk about overlooking the things that you need to do for yourself. Today we are going to talk about doing the stuff that you have always wanted to do, So I am going to say it one more time, stop doing stuff you don’t want to do.
