    S2E5 - Teo Vio Drew - The Wedding Episode

    Wow, that was yet another long break in between episodes. I really must sincerely apologize to all of you listeners, I keep making and breaking this promise of one episode a week. I don’t believe in excuses here, so I will leave that there, but what I will say is that it has been very interesting to look at myself in the mirror and say I want to work on this project but then not follow that up with actions. I’m sure many of you listeners have found yourselves in perhaps similar situations, and what strikes me is that there’s an additional casualty in the list of people affected by broken promises that sometimes gets left out. That person is our very self. You see, each time we break our word, not only do others lose trust in us, we lose trust in us as well. Now, this won’t show up at the conscious level necessarily but it certainly has ramifications in our lives. For me, it has meant slacking on a number of other life goals in the mean time. Almost as if to say to myself, “Well, if you’re not gonna live up to the podcast promise, why hold up any other promises?” and that is a slippery slope, in my experience, into a pit of despair. So, this episode (which is a beautiful episode that I am excited to share) is dedicated to all those who join me today in taking the very first step back into trusting ourselves and keeping our word. Ok, now onto the episode! This episode was recorded back on April 2nd, in person using the Bad Brownies mobile studio in Colleyville, Texas at our friend Teo’s family home. In this episode Viomar and I sat down with our dear friend, and returning guest, Teo Tamashiro Harris. The inanimate guest for this episode is the grandfather clock in the living room, listen carefully as it shares it’s opinions near the middle of the show. During the conversation we talked about how special it was to have Teo as the officiant of our wedding, how Teo helped us plan our wedding, the importance we found in making our ceremony include exactly what we felt represented us, a sweet bit of wisdom from Teo’s great grandma, and much more. As always, the visit with Teo left us feeling reaffirmed in our gratitude to know him and be a part of his life, I hope y’all enjoy the show with Teo Tamashiro Harris!

    Episode 22 - Adrian Gibson Part 1

    **Take a break from watching election results roll in and check out this conversation with Adrian** In this week’s episode I welcome my dear friend, illustrator, writer, tattoo artist and new dad, Adrian Gibson onto the show. I want to express gratitude to Adrian and his beautiful wife, Natalia for letting me have a couple of hours of time during a special time in their son’s first few months on this planet. Our discussion was wide ranging, and we talked about his life story leading to entrepreneurship, marriage, and parenthood, the difficulty in pursuing creative endeavors, how our relationship to limits controls our outcomes in life, and much more. We ended up talking about so much more that this interview will be split up across this week and next week’s episodes. So stay tuned next week to hear the termination of this interview where we touch on topics such as where we think creativity/ideas come from, some amazing insight from Adrian’s parents’ lives, one of Adrian’s very own Bad Brownies and so much more! Before I start the episode I also want to take a moment to say something about a decision I am making for Bad Brownies regarding censorship of content. Up until this point I have used some self censorship to remove language I deemed to be foul and topics I have deemed to be too touchy for the early stages of this podcast. However, I have decided for at least these episodes with Adrian to include some foul language and some discussion of alcohol and drug use and I don’t want anyone listening to not be surprised by such language and topics. I hope you find this conversation as illuminating as I did, and now, without further ado, I present, Adrian.
