We at BTA are fascinated by creative human beings. We all deal with similar situations daily, yet each of us approaches them through a different lens. So join me, Jon Leonardo, as I catch up with old and new friends who are musicians, street artists, actors and creatives of all sorts as I dig into their life journeys to reveal the experiences that helped shape them into who they are today. What qualifies me to host a podcast? Nothing at all, and I like it that way. I’ll keep it honest and I’ll keep you feeling the entire range of emotions throughout this process.
