SCRAPPY is one of those qualities that helps so much in life. We have all had scrappy friends, foes, or family members that seem to gracefully walk through those invisible walls that are put up all over life. Is SCRAPPY something we learn? Is it nurture? Or is it nature? Like so many things, I’d imagine it’s a complex mix of the two. I had this friend in college, Abe, and every time I was putting...

There is A LOT of conversation happening around AI. Not just in the world of art and creativity, but everywhere. It’s a topic that pushes buttons and can get hot on the tongue at times. A topic that’s personal and filled with passionate points of view. Because AI runs off in so many directions, I thought it better to speak to more than just one person. So this week is the first time I’ve interview...

In this episode, we wander the surprisingly rich world of WALLS. Until my guest, Rhea Karam, crossed paths with me, I saw a wall as rather one-dimensional—an upright structure that simply divides or encloses space. But after speaking with Rhea, I better understand the rich meaning baked into walls all across the world. Walls are very much living, breathing entities that can teach you a lot if you...

Our world is "always-on," and there's often too much going on. In the art world, you usually have to shout and dance your way to being seen. But some artists find calm while living inside that storm. They arrive on their own terms, with a kind of grace and tranquility that feels increasingly rare. My guest, Kalle Hellzén, makes art that does exactly that. His paintings don't demand your attention...

When DEVOUT is spoken, religious ears twitch. Our minds go straight to faith, extremism, hard lines, absolute conviction. But artists can be some of the most DEVOUT people in the world, and it often has nothing to do with religion at all. That same intensity, aimed at making, questioning, provoking, can become something entirely different. Something beautiful. Some people spend their lives searchi...

In this episode, we wander the world of DARK and explore what that means for art and artists alike. My guest this week is New York artist Reka Nyari. From a very young age, she was drawn to the DARK and disturbing. If Reka is ever in a city with a torture museum, she’s visiting it (and it turns out there are quite a few of them). Reka’s work captures stories of the skin—the good, the bad, and the...

Here we're wondering the world in search of art that helps us see things differently. Hunting for anything that might open our eyes to the underbelly of culture and creativity. In a way it's a journey that will never end.

My guest is Gary Copeland—writer, poet, photographer, and boxer. Gary embodies RAW: unfiltered, honest, emotionally direct. But what makes him invaluable is that he doesn't keep it to himself. In this episode, Gary shares raw advice on getting started creatively and why living authentically might be the most important creative practice of all.

In this STORMY episode we are talking to New York artist Sage Gallon—painter, poet, photographer, music producer, author, recording artist, and filmmaker. A man who wears many hats, and wears them all remarkably well. To say Sage's life has been a storm would be an understatement. It's been more like a crushing tornado that has flung him from coast to coast, deep into darkness, through homelessnes...

Each episode is built around a theme shaped by the guest's creative DNA. We don't just interview; we experiment in real time, bend the format, and create moments that cou...
