Disney Toy Designer Zach Gracia on Why You Probably Haven't Failed Enough
http://ChrisOatley.com/zg1/ What would you do if you struggled for seven years to finally get an interview for your dream job at Disney… ...and then completely blew it? Would you give up? ...create a “Plan B”? What if you had already tried “Plan B”? ...or would you hold onto hope for a second chance, humble yourself and double your efforts? Disney Toy Designer Zach Gracia shares the first part of his story today on The Oatley Academy ArtCast! Episode Highlights: Redefining hard work. Challenging his family’s expectations by pursuing an artistic career. The struggle of getting through art school without going into debt. The unglamorous life of a Disney Theme Park intern.
