    #69: TAYLOR WHITE | Fighting Entropy with a Rattle Can

    #69: TAYLOR WHITE | Fighting Entropy with a Rattle Can

    TAYLOR WHITE is a super nice figurative muralist and street artist whose work engages with the fundamental elements of being. Her work explores the way in which we experience the formless chaos of potential through being, and how the order we inhabit can sometimes dissolve backwards into the incredible complexity from which it emerged. She has exhibited all over the world and her story is a great one if you're interested in forging a career from your creative impulses. Lots of great tips and takeaways for aspiring artists. We also rap about chaos theory and stochastic resonance, how great Raleigh North Carolina is … and of course, share some visions for a nicer world. Hope you like it. Would love to hear from you if you do. Even if you don’t.

    #67: CHRISTOPHER SOREN KELLY | Stop Making Excuses! Triple Down on Your Strengths

    CHRISTOPHER SOREN KELLY has a brand new sci-fi movie out – and it’s a gem, definitely Super Nice Club approved. It’s called THE TANGLE. And you’re going to watch it, because it's amazing! Listen in to Chris talk about what it took to make The Tangle and what it takes to launch a major project when you don’t have resources. Whatever your project, limitations are excuses and ones that can be overcome by accentuating the skills and resources you already have.
    Christopher is also a meditation teacher. And in all of his work he’s searching, exploring, learning about the mysteries, which is a super nice way of moving through life. Listen in and get to know Christopher, his work and maybe even yourself a bit better.  NICE LINKSIG @christophersorenkellyIG @thetangle (http://www.instagram.com/thetangle)

Super Nice, indeed...

Friend recommends are always tricky business, but recently I needed to educate myself about podcasting. I turned to my friend Tod Brilliant, who is Nicer than fudge and connected to Super interesting people who exude a passion for what they do. No matter what that means. His episodes are curious, sincere, creative, and fun - always to the core of what it all means. Good stuff right here.
