  1. I Was Doing Art Wrong

    APR 3

    I Was Doing Art Wrong

    For too many years I had a strong ideas about the kinds of songs I wanted to create and such high standards that I ended up blocking myself off from the flow. My creativity just barely trickled.… a new song every year or two and musical evolution at a snail’s pace, goals piling up without any real progress. Now it kind of seems silly to me. Now I’m taking a new approach to music and art in general, and embracing my lo-fi imperfections. I finally I feel like I love making things, writing songs, jamming, making videos like these and putting my ideas or feelings into words. I may not be Prince but I think I can finally understand the artistic headspace it took for him to be able to write a song a day and for the first time in my life I feel like I am doing what I was meant to do.

In Part 1 we talk about how our trust has been violated and how we’ve built our lives on weak foundations, and in part 2 we go more into the individual process of how we can built a stronger foundation of trust in our relationships and communities in order to transform or replace old corrupt institution into organizations that benefit everyone.

    YouTube vs. Podcasting & The Social Media Grind - w/ Mark James Hill

    This is the conversation that convinced me to put up these conversations on audio only podcast platforms like Spotify Apple and Fountain. Prior to this I had been uploading to YouTube. We discuss the struggle artists have trying to share their work on social media and the benefits of different approaches. Mark James Hill is an actor, model and photographer. He’s best known for playing Nikolai in Resident Evil 3, but I recommend you check out his photography too!

    How to beat your Nigerian child - Cultural differences raising kids

    This may be the most controversial podcast we’ve recorded so far. This time we discuss our opinions and experience being disciplined as kids. Obviously our upbringings are very different, from being diagnosed ADHD to the strict Asian upbringing to being hit by teachers. We come from Hong Kong, USA and Nigeria so we have very different stories to share. We go deep on this one.
