In this podcast, I ask my friends and former colleagues about their work life. Where are they now and how did they get there? How did they develop their skills? What has their career path been like. What are their thoughts on the current work situation and the future of work?

This feels a little bit like a fact-finding mission and an experiment!

Thank you for listening.

    A Conversation with Seth Eisen

    A Conversation with Seth Eisen

    In this podcast, I ask each guest to reflect on the evolution of their career path and work skills. In today's episode, I speak with Seth Eisen.
    Today’s episode is an intimate conversation with San Francisco-based artist and producer, Seth Eisen. Seth is the Artistic and Executive Director at Eye Zen Presents, a San Francisco-based transdisciplinary ensemble theater company founded by Seth Eisen in 2007.
    I met Seth when I was a resident artist at a live work arts collective in San Francisco’s Mission District. I participated in two shows that Seth ran and got to know him as an ever exploring creative person.
    In this episode, Seth talks about the ups and downs of prioritizing his creative work over the past 30 years of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was lucky enough to be mentored by some of the Bay Area’s seminal art figures of the 70’s and 80’s so you definitely want to tune in and hear his recollections of working with and being influenced by art makers past and present.
