What the Niche Andrew Morris

In this week’s episode we had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with Benjamin Scrivens. He is father, graphic designer and the owner/operator or the horror company Fright-Rags. During our conversation we discuss Ben’s love for the horror genre and how his love for the genre came to fruition. We also tackle the assumptions made about those who are deep into the world of horror. More specifically we address the misconceptions people have about those who make their living through the selling of horror themed memorabilia. We also discuss one of the more surprising reveals I have had from a guest, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Be sure to check out this delightful conversation with a wonderful human being!

In this week’s episode we had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with Kasey Pierce. She is a comic book creator, writer, editor and is a marketing guru for the industry. Currently she has a incredible series of comics out titled “Norah” and you can find at the link provided in the Guest Credits below. During our chat we discuss the difficulties of being a woman in the comic book industry which is predominately filled with men. Kasey also discusses the struggles of building your own brand and persevering through those tumultuous times to find your “niche.” I found our conversation to be inspiring and I immediately bought all of Kasey’s work I could find. I highly recommend you check out her outstanding stories and this fantastic conversation!

In this week’s episode we had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Ashton Murphy. Ashton is a great friend, a devout Christian and a skateboarder. Amidst our chat we maneuver through the many things people assume about those who are apart of the skateboarding community. Things such as being destructive or raging out against the powers that be, are things Ashton sought to discredit. He finds himself being a peaceful and respectful wielder of the board. His approach is likely different due to him being an avid Christian, which during our chat he also dispels some misconceptions of those who lead a life for Christ. He laid to rest the notions that Christians are boring and don’t do anything dangerous or fun (I mean he is jumping across 20 foot gaps!). Our chat was a great hang and I think my audience will enjoy it!

In this week’s episode we had the delight of chatting with Joshua Shouse. Josh is a father, nurse, outdoorsman and cycling enthusiast. His list of interests and things he is involved in is as long as our conversation. During this talk we discuss Joshua’s draw to things which get the adrenaline pumping including: cave exploring, scuba diving, downhill riding, and being a parent. We further discuss how this thrill-seeking behavior correlates perfectly with his career choice of being an ER Nurse. Josh is also a huge advocate for individuals pursuing the things they want in life and being mindful to not take anything for granted. Josh has achieved a great deal of things in his young age, and I found his drive and passion infectious. Throughout our discussion the message “get out and get it” continued to arise and hope it resonates with my listeners because it certainly struck a chord with me!

In this week’s episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with Steve Squall. He is a writer, photographer, filmmaker, and all-around talented artist. During our conversation we discussed Steve’s love for film and how he started from meager beginnings, splicing together video tapes and creating wonderfully unique pieces with his buddies. We also converse about the difficulties and pangs of being a director. He offers insights on how tough it can be to maneuver through the cinematic world where egos and artistic difference can be problematic. He elaborated on how he manages to do so with empathy and patience. We also talked about Steve’s inspirations for capturing images and stepping behind the camera which included some of the usual suspects like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and any of the works from Quentin Tarantino. He also spoke on how the world inspires his every creation. I found our conversation to be light-hearted and hilarious. Steve is an incredibly humble and talented human and I hope you enjoy our chat.

In this week’s episode we welcome a hard-hitting bruiser named Derek Mathers. He is a businessman, mental care advocate and a former NHL Hockey Player for the Philadelphia Flyers Organization. During our chat Derek reveals many personal things about himself and along the way lays to rest many of the preconceived notions individuals have about hockey players, especially those so called “goons” of the game. He demonstrates he has dealt with difficult things on and off the ice and discussed his involvement with several outlets which are seeking to bring to light the issues faced the world over in regards to mental health. I feel as though Derek provided a candid and thoughtful reflection on his own life and it appears, he is using his legacy as a former NHL player to do some real good in the world. It was an honor to have the opportunity to chat with him and I hope all of you appreciate this solid conversation.
