    Meme Nugget #1 - Seth Godin Art Quote

    Send a text We're trying something new on the podcast - a new series called Meme Nuggets, solo episodes discussing a particular meme. They'll be sprinkled throughout the podcast along with more amazing guest interviews!  Meme Nugget #1:  "Art is what we call... the thing an artist does. It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the... eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist."  - Seth Godin

    The This is Fine Meme with Gabby Bomberg

    Send a text Shownotes Memes:  The "This is Fine" Meme - "So meme that I chose is the meme of this dog sitting at a table with his coffee, just kind of casually sitting there and then behind him is engulfed in flames, right? And so that's the one side of things. And he's just kind of.  And for those of you who might not be able to see or listening to the podcast, I just made it kind of like a aloof face facial expression, I would say. And then the other side is a little smiling dog that says with the caption bubble, this is fine."Join our Facebook group to be part of the conversation and view the meme for this episode or you can follow us on Instagram @memesmetaphorsandmagic.
