    Beyond the Applause with Beatbox Jake

    Beatbox Jake is an entertainer who blends the craft of guitar and the art of beatboxing in a unique genre he calls “Beatbox Metal”. His journey started with guitar, inspired by influences like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Jake is more than just a “shredder.” While he enjoys the fast, ballistic style of playing, he’s also committed years to theory and including melodic choices to elevate his work. Some years into his musical journey, he stumbled upon beatboxing and became completely immersed in a new world of possibilities. He took the same approach to learning as he did with guitar, building a library of sounds that eventually led him to merge the two into a singular blend. I really enjoyed chatting with Jake. Hearing about his experience as a one-man band, how he discovered these talents, and his mindset throughout. I especially appreciated Jake’s vulnerability when it comes to learning how to accept compliments and being intentional with the time he gives fans and fellow artists at events. For updates on Jake, check out his website at https://beatboxjake.com/ We hope you enjoy the chat!

    From Raking Leaves to Building Dreams with Abe Russell

    In this episode, I chat with Abe Russell, a licensed builder who specializes in tile work. We discuss his journey into the construction industry, his passion for tiling, and all of the skills he has acquired over the years. Abe shares some of his insights on the importance of learning through experience, the challenges of different jobs, and the pride he takes in creating beautiful spaces. We also touch on so many areas like evolving trends in tile and construction, the journey of entrepreneurship, customer experience, and even chat about some of his favorite tools! As Abe continues to grow in his experience, he ultimately is working on balancing artistry with business and after talking to him, I know he's well on his way. Finding any "contractor" is easy. Finding the right contractor... not so much. As a former customer for multiple projects in our home, I really appreciate sitting down with Abe and hearing about his creativity, work, and experience. I really enjoyed this conversation. I hope you all enjoy!

    Prove Them Wrong! with Taylor DeRousse

    In this episode, I’m joined by singer-songwriter Taylor DeRousse, whose new album “Running Back To Me” is the product of a decade long journey of self discovery and bold creative choices. During this album release cycle, I observed that she approaches her craft with so much intentionality, and isn’t afraid to go for it. She not only understands the demands of being an artist, but also understands the work required to market her work in the social media space. Taylor also runs a music school called “Tailored Harmonies Music Co.” where she shares her passion for teaching music and providing custom paths for aspiring artists. She shares insights on her teaching philosophy, emphasizing the importance of balancing emotional expression with technical skills and fundamentals. I really enjoyed learning about where Taylor’s drive comes from. Hearing about her experience of being told that she can’t do something, really explains why she’s always rose up to challenges and made her want to fully commit to what she truly believes in. That drive shows up in her music, her teaching, and the way she builds her business. With her balanced mindset, I can’t wait to see Taylor’s success continue and I hope that the listeners enjoy our conversation!

    Find the Magic with Jack Droppers

    For this episode, I have a chat with Singer Songwriter, Jack Droppers. Jack has been in a band with his best friends for almost a decade, and he wouldn’t want it any other way. I loved where this conversation went. From sharing our mutual connection to Orlando, to finding the hidden little things that we incorporate into our work, and also celebrating the fun and quirky methods that we have in order to chase down that great idea. Jack has really great insights when it comes to creative work. His music is really in touch with his personal memories and emotions, and also inspires listeners to ultimately celebrate life despite all of its imperfections. He understands the value of art, and also has a deep desire in expressing that the act of creating is just as important as the finished product. I can’t help but to smile when thinking about how serendipitous this conversation was. To start the chat with me sharing a childhood photo wearing an Orlando Magic jersey (well before I’ve ever lived in Orlando), to learning how big of a basketball fan Jack is, particularly the Orlando Magic, and to top it off, the conversation about creativity was focused on finding the little MAGICAL moments to incorporate into our art. I mean, cmon! The band Jack Droppers and the Best Intentions is in the process of writing and recording their next album. Their latest album "Scooter" won the WYCE "Alternative Album of the Year" in 2024 and "Dad Rock" won the WYCE "Rock Album of the Year" in 2023 Enjoy!

    The REAL Craft to Finding Your Niche with Rachele Wright

    We’re back with another episode of Craft Talk! Initially Rachele and I had planned to discuss a specific topic, but like most great conversations, some back roads and side streets were taken and although not anticipated, it ultimately led us into a fruitful topic of the “Niche”. “Finding Your Niche” has become a buzzword in social media and marketing circles. I, who sometimes have contrarian tendencies, shares doubts and gripes about the concept, while Rachele, a seasoned marketing expert with a focus on helping small businesses succeed in social media, provides a balanced perspective. She shares functional and practical tips in finding where we fit into all of this authentically but emphasizes how to avoid getting trapped by trends or algorithms. We hope that this conversation helps you take time to observe your goals, reasons and “why’s” so you can ultimately present the most honest version of you online. Enjoy!
