Real-time artist, William Faucher meets with Justin to discuss the art of teaching (on his popular YouTube channel and as a CG Spectrum mentor), and lessons learned from being mostly self-taught, including the importance of finding passions outside of the industry to build new skills. William claims that his passion for photography was the catalyst for his prolific career — helping to develop both his creative and technical skills.
