In this episode, Chris sits down with Andy Plummer.

Andy reflects on growing up with a father in the military, a childhood shaped by movement, change, and the need to continually adapt. He talks about how those early experiences influenced his sense of identity and reinvention, and how creativity became a constant through periods of transition.

The conversation also explores Andy’s time working as a mining engineer, the contrast between technical work and creative expression, and how that chapter of his life helped clarify what he was missing and what he wanted to move toward. Andy shares how art, teaching, and community-based work became ways of reconnecting with purpose, wellbeing, and belonging.

Together they discuss creativity as a grounding force, the importance of making space for expression, and the quiet responsibility of contributing to community over time. It’s a thoughtful episode about change, continuity, and finding alignment between how you live and what you create.
