This is honestly one of the hardest episodes I have ever attempted to put together. Authenticity is an incredibly difficult topic to cover and an even harder thing to achieve in life. Are you authentic with yourself? Are you authentic with others? Are you authentic in all situations and aspects in your life? Probably not, and I have to say first, that is OKAY. Acknowledge that and sit with that. Since day one of being raised as a child we are conditioned to start adapting and being kind and m...

So many journey's in life can be long without us even knowing it. What happens when we end up at a destination that we truly love and that truly aligns with us? Well in this case, a lot of onesies, a gong, a kazoo, the threat of art happening and a lot of people having a good time and feeling better about their day. This is only a small glimpse into what happens when you find your authentic self with Brenda Dunn (artinjest.) In this, the 50th episode I sit down with my partner that I do life ...

On this episode I had the absolutely pleasure to have an in depth conversation with Andrew Szeto who is a skateboarder, a youtuber, a shop o...

Optimism is NOT positivity. Had to get that out the way right away because I hear people groaning already, so stuff that thought. Optimistic thinking is really hard to do but it is so necessary in your life. Optimism is the undying belief that the future is bright. Times and life can have a million obstacles and be very rocky but you can come out in the end whole. Optimism is one of the greatest practices you can take to help make your creative practice and just life overall better. You will ...

If you couldn't turn back and you could only move forward, mistakes and learning and successes and all, what would you do? What if there was no other option? Well for Dom Laporte that is kind of how it has been his whole life. He started his art practice with 33 ducks being poured out of his brain and onto a bunch of sheets of paper to now creating massive murals and running Drift Mural Co. all over the globe. Ok so Dom is great at art, but how does one turn art into a business? Ha...
