A Passion Thing Magazine — A Manifesto for Turning Passion into Practice
"Passion is energy. You’ll know it when you have it. Passion is inseparable from pain. If you want and believe in something deeply, you won’t let go, even when the road gets bumpy."What happens when you treat passion not just as a feeling, but as a strategy?This week, we sat down with Sandra Reichl and Karin Novozamsky, the Vienna-based co-founders of A Passion Thing — a biannual magazine celebrating creative trailblazers who have turned what they love, into their business.Launched in 2019, A Passion Thing is more than a magazine — it’s a manifesto for redefining success on your own terms. Sandra and Karin are part of a new creative vanguard championing purpose-driven careers, radical imagination, and the power of leaning into what truly moves you.
