[ep 096] Priscilla Jimenez on creative flow, the evolution of music and tech & remembering your roots

Priscilla Jimenez has a sharp intelligence and curious gaze, and to call her talented is an understatement. She’s the founder of Push More Buttons—a multidisciplinary creative studio merging music, tech, and design—as well as a music producer and DJ. An established creative & art director, Priscilla has designed work for Madonna, Eric Clapton, and My Chemical Romance, as well art directed for clients Pinkberry, TNT, TBS & more. Born to parents who immigrated to Los Angeles from Mexico, her upbringing was shaped by a vibrant East LA culture. Her mother was a seamstress and her father an upholsterer, working hard to build a life for Priscilla and her brothers. She spent childhood summers in Ensenada, Mexico, where her parents are from, a memory she recalls in detail to this day. Priscilla spent solo time as a kid watching films and playing with photography, media & computers. Her music love began with her siblings and an uncle, who influenced her through the genres they listened to and instruments they played—when she was 14, one of her brothers got into DJ-ing and opened her up to a new world of music-making. In her early 20s, a mentor encouraged her to apply for a @warnerrecords internship—the creative director there hired her full-time, before she left for the ArtCenter College of Design. She began posting DJ routines on her YouTube channel, racking up millions of views, and eventually created her own agency after landing scholarships from Kit Hinrichs of Pentagram and working at other agencies. In this episode, we get deep into why cooking for others is so important to her, how music & creativity wove into her life as a kid, and what’s currently emerging at the intersection of music and technology. We explore her approach to blending systematic thinking with free-flowing creativity and love letters to her family & East LA.

[ep 095] Marcy Bulkeley on music as medicine, film scoring & finding purpose in sound

Marcy Bulkeley has infinite layers to her: powerful, creative, mystical, gentle, bold, and nurturing all at once. With over 25+ years in the music industry, she’s a respected music supervisor, having scored trailers and created original music for films like Dawn of the Dead, Inception, Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse & Looper. In 2019, she joined Universal Music Group as VP of Music Curation + Sync A&R. During the pandemic, she led an initiative to create music for meditation apps, collaborating with Kacey Musgravdes, Jhene Aiko, and Katy Perry. After recently leaving UMG, Marcy launched her creative baby: Subtle Mother, where she guides musicians, producers & songwriters from across the globe in creating music as healing across all platforms. She grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, where generations of her family were raised. Nature was woven into her early life, from the town’s gardens to lakes and rivers in upstate New York. Music was a constant companion—her mother had her listening to Michael Jackson and film scores, and her father would play her The Beatles and Cat Stevens. When she was 11-years-old, Marcy got the chance to go to a recording studio with her father and, after, told him she wanted to put music to picture. At 12, she picked up her first drink and her long journey to sobriety began. Through darker times, music was always grounding. After Emerson College, Marcy did stints with record labels, publishing companies, and music producers, leading to a coveted internship with the legendary G. Marq Rosswell. She discovered kundalini yoga, meditation, and breathwork during this era and got sober by age of 29. In this conversation, we explore how playlists are time capsules in one’s life; intentionality of film scoring & music supervision and the importance of lyrics; what she learned at UMG; birthing Subtle Mother into the world; what music as medicine means; creating with her husband Danny; and much more.

[ep 094] Dallas Sauer and Savannah Fox on expansive living, the power of authentic stories & healing in community]

Dallas Sauer and Savannah Fox embody the term ‘beautiful souls’. Before their current endeavor Dome Home, Savannah worked in wellness marketing and Dallas is a sought-after commercial & narrative director/producer, working with Nike, Amazon Canada, Remy Martin, and Pepsi. Savannah was born in Ottawa, Canada, then moved to the Kootenays as a toddler. Her parents met in a communal house, though they eventually separated. Her father is an artist who lives a nomadic, spiritual life—she often travelled with him when young, embuing her with a sense of adventure. When Sav graduated, she visited India and met travel nurses who inspired her to apply to nursing. But she lost her passion after practicum and headed to Nicaragua, where she had a jarring near-death experience while surfing. Dallas grew up in a small town, only 25 minutes away from Savannah. His parents also split when he was young, so he shuttled between Castlegar and Nelson, BC. He was an athlete—though always felt like a storyteller and harbored an artistic side, participating in community theater and writing. An eventual move to Vancouver kickstarted his successful journey as a creative. A beautiful love story, they reconnected years after high school and now are partners in life and purpose. Their venture is Dome Home, a stunning property in Baja, Mexico, that’s a 20-minute walk from a freshwater source and lined with fruit trees planted in the 1960s. Its surreal structure, built by Sav's father, is the only domed earth bag home in existence. This year, they opened its doors for stays, collaborations, and retreats. In this episode, we talk about quality time & presence; Dallas’ passion for authentic storytelling; cultivating harmony between relationships & land; how Dome Home came to be; their vision for creating a healing space & community; and more.

[ep 093] Elisa Kosonen on eating mindfully and finding joy & adventure in our food

Elisa Kosonen's empathetic, intuitive nature is a gift. It's why she is an incredible storyteller, having spent the last few decades in various senior level roles—editor, writer, publicist, marketing & communications—at magazines (NUVO and Flare), start-ups (Garmentory), and global brands (Aritzia and Mindful Collective). Now a registered holistic nutritionist, she recently launched her practice 14 Carrots. Her offerings include 1:1 coaching focused on reconnecting to your physiology and discovering your unique nutritional needs, reconnecting with your body/mind, and creating a lasting foundation for a full and energetic life. Raised in the suburbs surrounding Vancouver, her childhood was idyllic—her father was an educator, her mother launched a career counseling business, and the home was filled with fun. Elisa was both creative and athletic, fascinated with the body from a young age. Though excelling in English, she always wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon—so, at university, she began a major in kinesiology. But it didn't feel aligned at the time and she explored other avenues, finding her lane in journalism. After graduating, she landed an editor role at NUVO Magazine, then had life chapters in London and New York. When her late mother was diagnosed with cancer, she returned to Vancouver and settled into her career. During the pandemic, her true calling came knocking—and she went back to school to become a registered holistic nutritionist & certified health coach. In this episode, we discuss her creativity and penchant for storytelling; what she's learned about the beautiful interconnectivity of our bodily systems; understanding the crucial role of digestion & being present with our meals; how trying different foods can help us discover what makes us feel our best; rituals and mindfulness in eating; and much more.

[ep 092] Dr. Thara Vayali on collective liberation, evolving women’s healthcare & holistic wellbeing

Thara Vayali is a naturopathic doctor, public speaker and educator blazing new trails when it comes to women’s wellbeing and improving a broken healthcare system. And she’s paving it not only with innovation but with intuition and compassion, too. She is profoundly connected to herself, her body, and elements of nature—foundational as cofounder & chief medical officer at Hey Freya, a brand with a mission to reimagine women’s wellness by radically shifting how women show up in the world and care for themselves. Her decades-long work focuses on the intersectionality of women’s health, society, medical research, and the environment. She grew up in a small, predominantly Irish-Catholic town in Newfoundland, Canada, as a first-generation North American in her family. It was an intense navigation of her personal identity in the world, feeling disconnected from South India where her father and mother had come from. Becoming a naturopathic doctor was a winding path, but also a calling—she was always interested in the human body and moved toward a nutrition degree. Thara worked in the community, educating kids (through play) about nutrition throughout Vancouver. But there was a systemic approach missing for her, and so she decided to pursue a master’s degree in environmental education to draw the connection between what we eat and where it comes from. Her thesis on how embodied yoga practice can teach connection to land—much better than words and didactic learning—won the Governor General’s Gold Medal award. She eventually applied to naturopathic medical school, and her purpose solidified even further. A number of years later, the stars and shared purpose aligned at a femtech conference, where she met Cecilia Tse and Helkin Berg, who became her cofounders in Hey Freya a few months later. In this episode, we explore how her connection to nature and the elements impact her approach to healthcare; what collective liberation means to her; shifting the broader healthcare system by creating spaces and resources to care for women; the life force of adrenals and their importance to women’s health; how her cofounders Cecilia & Helkin have been mirrors for her; what she would say to her teenage self; and much more.

[ep 091] Sean Daly on world-building in film & photography and the adventure of creative challenges

Everyone needs a little Sean Daly in their life. This artist, creative director, set & production designer, and go-to character architect in Hollywood has a long list of accomplishments, but his humility never lets you know it. From set designing with legendary photographers like Annie Leibovitz, to the interior design of Lulu Restaurant at the Hammer Museum and creative direction on Phaidon books, to advising Robert Downey Jr. on Sherlock Holmes, Jamie Foxx on The Soloist, and others with getting deep into character in some of their most well-known roles, Sean has done it all. His grandparents immigrated from Ireland and Italy to Boston, Massachusetts, to start anew, where Sean was eventually born and bred. The youngest of seven children, his household was a lively place—no two kids were alike, no cable at home, and his creativity was nurtured by his artistic mother. To her, the world was a field trip to be observed. His dad taught Sean structure and how to ask himself the right questions, a great balance to his artist soul. A summer acting program ushered young Sean to a new world: acting. After high school, he went to a small liberal arts university in New Jersey across the river from Manhattan, a place that gave him a sense of freedom. He fell into the indie film scene, leading him to the Sundance Film Festival, then a move to LA. It was being an actor on set—and an industry strike—that sparked his curiosity in set/production design, and the rest is history. In this episode, we talk about how imaginative play as a kid led to acting; the things one has to consider when world-building on shoots; finding the balance between character detail ideas he has, with ideas that actors may have; adventure of creative challenges he’s given; and much more. [TIMESTAMPS] 4:01 - Growing up 22:33 - Where his love for acting originated from 25:13 - Could he tell which kids wanted to be actors/actresses for a career 30:34 - How he felt his New York chapter changed him 37:46 - How he got to LA 44:44 - What drew him to set production 54:55 - What it was like to work on set and his creative process 58:40 - The transition of building sets to building characters and how he balances his ideas and an actor’s ideas of a character 1:05:17 - What he loves about world building and what makes him great at it 1:09:50 - Final question 1:10:31 - Where to find him [TODAY'S SPONSORS]otō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session

[ep 090] Lee Knaz on cooking as meditation, reciprocity & healing

Lee Knaz leads with love. His aura feels like warm light and, once you’re in conversation, his words are wise. For many years, he was in the culinary world—as a sought-after private chef, a finalist on season one of Master Chef, and founder of his own company Mission Olive, which focused on good food as wellbeing. After leaving his chef life behind, he’s now a successful life & relationship coach. Born in a small agricultural town in Israel, Lee is the youngest of his family and the only boy among three sisters. His parents were peace activists, each in their own way—his mom was part of Women in Black, a peace activist group of Jewish-Israeli and Arab women coming together every Friday and gathering at one another’s homes. His father was an artist whose work focused on co-existence and who did work as an illustrator for various newspapers. He completed his military service from 18 to 21-years-old and was drafted in a war at 24-years-old. In 2006, Lee made a major move to California. He enrolled into business school at USC, but eventually joined culinary school during a summer off. Cooking had always come easy to him and though a gastronomy career hadn’t originally been at the top of his mind, it found him—and he began to truly set out his path in that world after landing on Master Chef. In this beautiful conversation, we explore the sights and smell of his hometown; his quiet observations as a child; why he decided to move to the United States; how culinary school felt like learning a language he already knew; cooking as meditation, reciprocity & healing; his career transition from cooking to coaching; how his daughter Vida is teaching him to be a child again; and much more.

[ep 89] Scott Borkowski on skateboarding, art, entrepreneurship & betting on yourself

Scott Borkowski has an energy that’s calm yet dynamic. Humble but no doubt powerful. Creativity pours out of him as an artist, tattoo artist, skateboarder, entrepreneur and owner of Grateful Tattoo in Squamish, Canada. Born and raised in Toronto, though his parents both worked in the corporate world, they unconditionally supported his artistry and right-brain inclinations. As a teen, he often took the train downtown, eventually moving there when he was 18-years-old. Skateboarding brought much into his life, a medium for getting more deeply into art, culture and music. Scott was fascinated by tattoos from a young age, getting his first one at 15. After a chance apprenticeship and doing temporary tattoos at music festivals, this fascination ended up becoming a booming career, with him inking some of the biggest names in music, including Rüfüs Du Sol, LANY, Lil Yachty, and 6lack. When the pandemic hit, he and his wife took a leap and moved west. There, he’s been steadily building community through his tattoo shop, giving back to the skateboarding community and mother nature, percolating on additional ventures, and working with brands like Levi’s, Panasonic, Environmental Defense, and more. In this episode, we explore Scott’s childhood, how he feels about art, what skateboarding has brought to his life, his philosophy when it comes to tattooing, what’s on the horizon, and much more.
