time with our family, and we’re lucky they live in Vancouver. T: Often we’ll go for walks or runs on the seawall since we live quite close. But I think it’s safe to say that we feel just as enriched by our personal lives and our professional lives. Both of us really love to travel as well—it helps to be away to relax and shut everything else out. It’s pretty easy for social media to infiltrate all aspects of life. Do you ever switch everything off, or are you always connected? T: I can turn it off just because I need to. I know who I am and how I am, and if I don’t… that’s when I get stressed and overwhelmed. So I try to say, “Okay this is the end of the day and I’m not going to think about work anymore.” C: It’s a little bit harder for me, but I’m trying to learn how to find more of that balance because I really believe in it. I’m so passionate about what I do though, that I don’t mind working a lot. T: One of the huge benefits— and maybe also a downfall—of working in social media is that you can connect anywhere in the world. So if you need to take a trip, or want to, you’ll never be completely pulled away from your work. It’s also a luxury that most industries don’t have. fw
