Guests, not gurus.
(Smart people, great stories.)
I sit down with designers, founders, artists, authors, and culture-makers—and sometimes go solo—to 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 required—just smart conversations you can actually use.
Voice Notes: Rewriting the Script - Taylor Swift, Winter Olympics, and Bad Bunny
Taylor Swift broke her own pattern, Olympic athletes navigated representing a divided country, and Bad Bunny forced America to confront a 70-year-old conversation about Puerto Rico. This week is about rewriting the script—whether it's your own narrative, a national identity, or a story we've been telling wrong for decades. When you're confident in your vision, you can change the plan mid-stream and create with what you're given, not what you wish you had.
Voice Notes: Things That Matter - Catherine O'Hara, Mattering, and the Roseberrys
This week I'm thinking about Catherine O'Hara, a conversation on Oprah's podcast, and the Roseberry siblings. The unexpected through-line? Performance versus being performative—and why some art sticks with us while everything else disappears.
