  • Cozy inspiration, great guests!

    I’ve loved listening to this new podcast! I’ve binged all available. Patrick asks insightful questions, and the first episode was so inspiring - prompting me to pick up my own paints after years away. His subsequent guests all have unique mediums, but it’s such a supportive show, and really showcases unique insights, and common universal themes that come with exploring and living a life as a creative. Can’t wait for more episodes!
