Being an artist is terrifying, exciting, inescapable, and also a path that, when you truly lean in (such as every time you follow your soul’s path), is magical and serendipitous. Andrew Petterson knows the roller coaster of being an artist well. On Friday, October 13th, at the Bike Shed LA, he is hosting his first solo art exhibition, ‘Hot Shoe Chronicles.’ This collection of work came together after following vintage flat track motorcycle racers he had met while working as a custom car builder for Chip Foose and Boyd Coddington. Andrew knew instantly that they were genre paintings, which perfectly fit into his style as a painter. In this episode, he shares his journey, what his art means, and why he’s so excited for this show. 
Join Andrew and I Friday October 13th at the Bike Shed as we celebrate and sell his Hot Shoe Chronicles collection featuring Go Takamine - @go_takamine, Grant Peterson - @large_hands_grant co-founder of Born-Free, Jimmy White @hotrodford and his shop @circlecityhotrods, Jeff Moon - @moon895, and Eric Ahlquist - @ericahlquist along with their bikes by Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycles. 

I am so excited for you to meet one of the coolest, wisest, most interesting, and compassionate people I have had the chance to speak with. Carroll Dunham is a badass. She has followed her curiosity and passions from Princeton, NJ, to Nepal, where she lived, studying traditional medicines as an anthropologist and Buddhism, fostered local children, impacted economic development for women, and so much more. She’s an author, a producer, a speaker, a teacher, a National Geographic explorer, wife, mother, and compassionate activist. When I grow up, I hope to be like Carroll! Enjoy this episode packed with stories, wisdom, and insights into how to live an extraordinary life.

There is a gap in what we, as citizens, know about our constitutional and legal rights. It's a significant part of what makes the law intimidating and frightening when it impacts our lives. Reb Masel is here to rescue us! She's a smart, savvy, and badass attorney who breaks down legal concepts with sass and humor through TikTok and Instagram channels, making it accessible to all. She's a practicing attorney by day and a social media darling 24/7. We cover how the law truly works, who holds the real power, and the madness of what can actually happen in court.

Social media and digital marketing are challenging for everyone. It becomes even more challenging when you're a creative or artist who has to bare their soul to share the stories of their emotionally crafted, time-consuming work. That's why it's important to have individuals like Alexandra Generales and her company, Little Social Co, to guide you through the process: where to be yourself, where to focus on the customer, where to let science lead, and where to be creative.

Today's guest on the Powerful Ladies Podcast, Amanda Foust, is a certified coach and the founder of the Highest Potential Planner. She is on a mission to ensure that as many people as possible are awakened to their lives. I couldn't agree with this more! From starting two businesses to creating her own planner and establishing her family, Amanda's approach to life is an example of relentlessly going after everything you desire and nothing less.

Why do we make it so difficult to excel as parents, particularly as great mothers, in the US? We possess an abundance of knowledge—modern, Eastern, and ancient—that could greatly facilitate the processes of conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase, not to mention the intricate task of raising children. Yet, we often fail to tap into, share, or embrace these resources throughout the US. Moreover, aside from guarding access to this knowledge, essential services that have the potential to revolutionize the lives of parents and families remain financially out of reach for many. Our special guest today, Sarah Croce, along with her non-profit organization, The Village for Mamas, is dedicated to altering this status quo, one mother at a time. A gentle reminder to also unite with us at the Miles for Mamas event in Santa Monica on September 24th.
