    EP 25: The Ivy Grove

    Emily of "The Ivy Grove" drops by the LKLD | EDGE to speak all things art! Born in Lakeland, vintage-inspired artist, Emily Patterson shares how her art makes people feel at home with that touch of nostalgia! Drawing upon the likes of Old Florida, ranch land, swans, nature and landscapes, and the coast, her use of charcoal strikes something deeper in others. We discuss her process, when she began, where she sees herself moving forward, and we also dive into art as vulnerability and the more recent contention of AI being art… or not.

    EP 24: The Way I See It At 40

    Happy Birthday to me! I turned 40 on the 28th. I'd been reflecting and thought I would give a list of "40 Business… or Life… Tips From 40 Years," but that would take forever to compile accurately. So, I decided to share just a handful of what I believe to be the most important things I've learned in my 40 years. In my opinion, these are the best pieces of advice I have to offer. You don't have to agree with me, but you may find a nugget in here - somewhere. I hope you do... Thanks for listening!
