In this episode, Holly sits down with her longtime friend, artist and creative Jared Ryan Shaw. Jared and Holly grew up together in Wayne, NJ (07470 YOU KNOW!!), and every time they talk it feels like stepping into a time capsule — from middle school memories to their love of Saved by the Bell. They get into separation anxiety, addiction, and the loss of Jared’s father, and how creativity has woven in and out of his journey with grief. Through it all, Jared has remained unapologetically himself. It’s an honest, funny, and deeply real conversation between two friends who’ve shared over 30 years of history.
