Following your passions The unpredictable nature of opportunities and evolving careers Forcing yourself to try and fail before you’re ready Learning to see the magic in the everyday

My husband’s aunt introduced commercial illustrator Jerry Lofaro to me as “the guy who did the Aflac duck.” His illustration work (full of both whimsy and darkness) is widely renowned but he’s also gained an impressive Instagram following for his photography of abandoned vehicles in addition to his artwork. I was thrilled to chat with him about how he fell into both illustration and photography, the meandering path to get to where he is, dinosaurs, and his “fake it till you make it” mentality. This was one of my favorite conversations of this season!
