Why Whisky Is the Greatest Gift—And the Surprising Way It Transformed My Art

Giving someone a bottle of whisky isn’t just a drink, it’s gifting the gift of gifting. Strangely, whisky also changed the paradigm of my art. In this episode, we talk about generosity, craft, and why the best things—whether a bottle, a poem, a photograph or a song—are never really ours to keep.

Travel Friction

If everything goes exactly as planned, you’re not really traveling—you’re just moving through a postcard. The magic happens in the discomfort: the missed train, the questionable street food, the conversation in broken language—because that’s where the real stories live.

The Curse Of The Freelancer

I haven’t been excited about this trip to Spain… It's not that I've been dreading it or not looking forward to it... But it feels like there’s been a limiter put on my soul's curiosity this past month.

I call it “The Curse Of The Freelancer” and it took a poem sent to me by my friend Summer Lee Carlson to break me from it.

 

📍Recorded somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean
