Ep. 3: Ex-VFX Producer Dr. Jody Echegarary on his career, avoiding regret, social media & identity.

This video is not specifically about VFX, but more about making life changes. If you ever pondered making a career or other large life-change, then you will get something out of this video. Jody Echegaray, (@drjodye on Twitter) was a successful VFX Producer or Executive Producer on movies like Avatar, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sin City ,The Polar Express, The Day After Tomorrow, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Superman Returns, and more. After Avatar, he pivoted to a wildly different career, a Clinical Phycologist with a specialization in career stress and burnout; career and life transitions: mind-body-spirit connection, and the influence of media consumption on personal psychology, including media addiction. We speak about the personal and financial challenges of career change, how to set your expectations for that change, the role of identity, mass media, and social media, and we even touch on lessons Jody has learned from counseling so many people that we can take home with us.
