This week we decided to mix things up and have Joseph interview Mike. This was something that was requested by a lot of our listeners and we thought it would be the perfect time to do it since Joseph is in quarantine due patiently waiting for his baby boy to enter the New Old Friends family. In this episode, we touched on Mike's life up until now. We give our audience a closer look into how Mike became the person he is today and where he plans to be in the future. We hope you enjoy this episode!

This week we sat down with our New Old Friend Kimberly Duran known as “SHMI”. In this episode, we touched on how she became a visual artist and muralist, “Nacho Libre”, her first mural, and finding her partner in crime in art. It was awesome hearing how a teacher helped her believe in her art, how she grew up fast at a young age, working on her personal art collection after hours, and why she thinks art school is not for everyone. We also touched on becoming religious, growing up in Santa Ana, moving a lot as a child and who inspires her art. Make sure to check out SHMI on social media and support her by sharing her work and any photos you take of her walls. We hope you enjoy this episode!
