If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coachingWhat if the fastest way to honest work is to chase the wrongest idea first? That’s the creative compass Pablo Delcan uses to cut through noise, meet brutal deadlines, and still make images that feel unmistakably human. We talk about growing up in a house where clay, paint, and metal were always within reach; about turning shyness into a superpower for connection; and about the editorial bootcamp that taught him to reduce complex stories into one clear picture without losing soul.SUBSCRIBE to get my weekly "Love Letters," hot updates and my well loved and popular Newsletter.

Episode 56: Who Do You Think You Are?
If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coachingConfidence isn’t a costume you earn after you “arrive.” It’s an energy you can put on when your work needs you to show up clear, steady, and useful. We explore why even asking a question takes guts, how borrowed beliefs become identity, and what changes when you stop outsourcing permission to other people. You’ll hear a candid story from the stage about wearing confidence in service of an audience, plus a revealing Oprah anecdote that proves everyone—yes, even the famous—checks in to see if they were “okay.”SUBSCRIBE to get my weekly "Love Letters," hot updates and my well loved and popular Newsletter.

Episode 55: Big, Bold, and Being You
If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coachingA wish to be “big” turns into a masterclass on being true. We pull ten punchy, practical lessons from Tom Hanks’ classic—using story to unpack why loving the process beats obsessing over the future, how the right comrades act like medicine, and what happens when we stop sanding down our edges to fit rooms that were never made for us. The result is a clear blueprint for working boldly, living playfully, and getting paid to be yourself without apology.SUBSCRIBE to get my weekly "Love Letters," hot updates and my well loved and popular Newsletter.

Episode 56: Robots Can’t Play (But We Can)
If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coachingA headless bronze taught us more about AI than any whitepaper. We start with Rodin’s Walking Man—one foot rooted in the past, the other driving forward—and unpack why those fingerprints in the base still stop us cold: they’re proof that a person risked something to make something. From there, we trace the tension many creatives feel as generative AI explodes into our workflows—part wonder, part worry—and draw a clear line between pattern prediction and human presence.SUBSCRIBE to get my weekly "Love Letters," hot updates and my well loved and popular Newsletter.

Episode 54: Old Year, Real You
If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coachingForget the pressure to reinvent yourself every January. We take a scalpel to the “new year, new you” mantra and uncover a more honest path: ask the right questions, trust the answers you already know, and let the five-year-old inside—the curious, playful, weirdly wonderful you—come back to the mic. Instead of chasing a shinier identity, we explore what happens when you choose congruence over performance and kindness over punishment.SUBSCRIBE to get my weekly "Love Letters," hot updates and my well loved and popular Newsletter.
