I'm sitting here looking trough my personal side project folder.

I do this once in a while to see if there are anything worth revisiting and to get a good laugh (plenty of stupid ideas).

Current side project count: 58. FIFTY-EIGHT SIDE PROJECTS.

Holy shit, that's a lot! Some might even say "classic shiny object syndrome."

I agree, and that's why doubling down on Case Study Club has been so amazing.

I'm finally at the point where I feel cured. There are still side projects in the works, but they're now contained within CSC (more on this in a few weeks).

Speaking of side projects, one person in particular, has inspired me with his case studies about the topic. He's even so successful at it that he got hired by InVision!

Recently, I had the pleasure of talking with Daniel Korpai, and he's been kind enough to share key learnings from his amazing side project endeavors.

Some of the things we discussed were how to finds ideas, how to write case studies, and how to leverage side projects to level up your career (and a lot more).

Check out the interview with Daniel below. I think you'll enjoy it.
