A World of One's Own with Tai Snaith

How can we find our true methodology and maintain a healthy obsession?

Tai and Lou talk about taking your time in life to find your true creative path. They also talk about tenacity, bossiness and learning how to defer control and practice patience. Lou says ‘The artist in me doesn’t sit down’ and they explore what it means to be truly obsessed by your work, but how to keep a healthy balance with your family and ‘shave away the extraneous’ aspects of your life.
