    I so look forward to Margo’s podcasts releasing each week, and listen in bits & pieces as I drive my teenage kids around! Margo’s voice is uniquely warm, encouraging, and knowledgeable, like a friend who’s walked the path ahead of me. Each guest gives a wonderful glimpse into the variety of creative lives to be lived. This podcast reminds me that this creative life is non-linear, that this is okay, and that possibility is always within reach!

    Love the premise of creativity from a global perspective! Really interesting topics and inspiring stories make for such an engaging listen! I’m not an artist myself, but I have so many creatives in my community wanting to put their story and their work in front of more people, so I am always looking for resource to recommend them!

  • Grounded and real conversation about art topics

    Last night I listened to the latest episode, of Margo talking to her friend Abby about retired Crayola colors, mindmapping, etc. and it was such a pleasant conversation. It was like hearing two interesting creative friends talk about cool things they’ve stumbled upon. I’m eager to hear an upcoming episode they referenced, about a woman creator who’s been off of social media for 2 years and how that has/hasn’t impacted her business. I like the questions Margo asks guests—it’s all the stuff I’d wa... more
