  • EP49: ARTalk with John Cole Artist: Seeking Permission

    Tonight, I'll be taking questions and providing answers regarding my new book "Seeking Permission: Finding the Freedom to Live Your Own Life". It isn't just a book—it's a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of self-acceptance, and a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. Through my riveting story, readers are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and profound transformation. If you are yearning to live a life of authentic purpose, unchained by the opinions of others, the stories within these pages can serve as your guide.

    My story weaves through the intricacies of complicated family dynamics, devotion to duty, and the expected or unexpected commitments life calls for. As a steadfast serviceman in the Coast Guard, I faced not just the literal storms at sea but also the waves of personal trauma, complex relationships, and the quest for self-realization after 36 years of unwavering service. This is a compelling narrative about confronting and overcoming life’s trials, healing from trauma, and, most importantly, about the courage to pursue passions and purpose with unyielding freedom.

  • EP48: ARTalk with John Cole Artist: Heather Doran, Author

    Even though she had the 6-figure salary, she was scared of money and realized she was just surviving day-to-day. She then spent time getting really honest with herself and what she truly wanted in life.

    It turns out, it was not a corporate career, a white picket fence and 2.5 children.
    She started a bookkeeping business, helping new entrepreneurs understand their finances. Soon after, she realized many people were avoiding their finances - not only their business finances, but their personal finances too!
    It became her mission to understand why so many people could not seem to so something as simple as look at their bank account. She soon discovered that the problem was a deeply embedded trauma response and people were letting fear run the show of our lives, masking it with the belief of being a problem with money.
    The truth was, people knew exactly what to do with their money. They were simply stuck on not knowing how to overcome the fear long enough to do the things they knew could be done to accomplish their financial dreams.
    This is where Heather comes in. She works with clients to understand why they are thinking and feeling the way they do. This leads to different behavior and eventually different outcomes.
    Heather is a certified Master Mind Magic practitioner, certified Rich Method Coach, and a member of the International Neuro Energetics Association of Coaches and Practitioners. She is also the host of "Unblock Your Money Sh!t" podcast on Spotify and all major podcast platforms.

She also worked for the North Cascades Institute teaching people of all ages about the natural world.
    She recently retired from 22 years as an environmental planner for a local government agency. This allowed her to refine her skills in writing technical documents, delineating wetlands and streams, and conducting wildlife and amphibian monitoring.
    She is trained in animal communication & energy healing with the Communication with All Life University. She continues to pursue knowledge to help grieving parents and to deepen connections between humans, their companion animals, and nature.

  • EP46: ARTalk with John Cole Artist: Miniature Hobby Kits

    Tonight we investigate the world of miniature hobby kits. A miniature hobby kit is a resource for people who assemble, customize, and paint miniature figures, scale models, and gaming terrain. Hobby kits often include precision tools like hobby knives, pin vises, plastic frame cutters, needle pliers, files, and sculpting tools.

    For this episode, we open a kit to see what's inside. Having completed a kit in the past, I will speak to complexity, amount of time, and any other resources you would need to build your own kit. It's going to be a fun episode so please listen or watch!

    Note that the audio is not fantastic during this podcast so my apologies.


    Join me as I attempt to enhance - make better - the clouds of an old acrylic painting using oil paints. During the demonstration, I'll be using specific colors and making the clouds look as realistic as possible. As a live demonstration, anything can happen so join the fun and, maybe, learn a little about oil paints.

  • EP43: ARTalk with John Cole Artist: Needle Felting

    In this episode of ARTalk with John Cole Artist, I will attempt to demonstrate the art of needle felting. What is needle felting? It's a sculptural craft that uses wool and felting needles to create tiny sculptures.

    As it happens, I have a kit to create a koala bear I bought a year ago. I started it but never finished. I think it's time!
    Join me as I fumble my way through this impressive art form, describing the tools, the methods, and the fun needle felting can provide. And please know: I'm not an expert! So let's learn this craft together, shall we?
