On today's episode of my podcast, I'm joined by the incredibly creative and intelligent Riko! She's a Japanese Kiwi artist who creates beautiful paintings about the world around her. But wait, there's more. Not only is she a creative powerhouse, but also happens to be a child prodigy, which is extensively discussed on this episode. She's also a fan of man-buns.

Underneath all her great achievements and skillsets, Riko is one of the most perceptive and empathetic people I have met. She has a way of attracting people into the conversation and making the participants feel like they're in a safe space, even if the topic of the conversation is divisive. She's soft spoken, not because she's shy, but because her message and tone resonate themselves. 

I hope you guys enjoy this episode, and hope all of you are having a great start to a new year!
