#120 Escaping the 9–5 Grind: Seva Mozhaev’s Path to Financial Freedom
What does it really take to buy your time back?
In this episode, I sit down with Seva Mozhaev, co-founder of Bright Tsar Studios, creative director, content strategist, and one of Australia’s most engaging voices in social media education.
Once a high school maths teacher, Sev walked away from a government job and built a business that helps founders, brands, and thought leaders create scroll-stopping content and podcasts that people want to pay attention to.
Sev’s story is one of relentless reinvention. He shares how injury setbacks led him from professional sport to personal training, photography, and ultimately, to creating a global digital footprint of over 1.6 million followers, without sacrificing his family or freedom.
There’s so much more to Sev than the viral content and quick-witted delivery. His insights into escapism, accountability, and authentic relationships are refreshingly raw and deeply relevant in a world that glorifies hustle but forgets balance.
Mentioned In This Episode:
(04:34) From Russian immigrant to AFL dreamer
(12:43) When injury becomes the universe’s redirection
(55:22) The rise of AI and the evolution of search
(1:00:12) Overcoming the fear of being on camera
(1:08:19) The selfish-to-selfless formula behind Sev’s ‘why’
