In this episode, S. Korey Steckle is a father, writer, self-taught, award-winning artist who exhibits his work in abstract painting, collage, and photography worldwide. He was born at an orphanage in the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and within four months, he was adopted and raised in Wilmot Township by his Swiss German and French German parents. He now lives on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, close to his 16-year-old son Quinlan. He is open and honest regarding his struggles with drugs, alcohol, addiction, adoption, ADHD and cultural issues .. but also his overcoming these challenges and finding joy in the minute details on the path toward enlightenment. Shedding light into the dark places of his own life has liberated him to new levels of freedom and fulfillment. His first book, David: A Memoir (1st Volume), will be released in December 2024.
