Guests, not gurus.
(Smart people, great stories.)
I sit down with designers, founders, artists, authors, and culture-makersāand sometimes go soloāto pull practical insights from real careers, real pivots, and real behind-the-scenes moments.
Expect thoughtful takes on creativity and designing a life you love, with enough humor to keep it from feeling like homework. No perfection requiredājust smart conversations you can actually use.
