For creatives, it can be hard to know where to draw the line between you and your work.

Peigh Asante is a true multi-hyphenate, he is the co-founder of Swim Dem Crew, a creative director in advertising, a community leader and an entrepreneur.

When his music career didn’t work out, Peigh turned to running to work through the disappointment. However, a knee injury stopped him in his tracks and to rehabilitate Peigh taught himself to swim as an adult. Ten years later he runs Swim Dem Crew, a club that empowers underserved communities through swimming and a global brand that works with the likes of Puma, Google and Usain Bolt.

A super positive and insightful conversation about defining what 'work' means in your life, overcoming failure, burnout, boundaries, personal brand, passion and creativity.
