Welcome to the COURAGEOUS AF podcast

Being Human Takes Guts

In this week's episode, I am announcing a short break from the podcast. Between now and the end of the year, instead of releasing a weekly podcast, I will drop new episodes as I am able, while I focus on some big life and work projects that need more of my attention right now.

I hope to be back weekly by January 2026. If you'd like to help make that happen, I'd be grateful for your support, whether it be by sharing and helping to promote this podcast, and/or by donating to help support it financially. You can do that by Venmo: @Kyle-Hollingsworth-1 or by the buy me a coffee link below. :)

Being Human Takes Guts

Today I share about a recent experience where I had a magical encounter with wild horses, followed by a panic attack that seemed to come out of nowhere. This episode focuses on body image and the impact of being shamed from a young age about my body. I hope you gain insights from it.

In this week's episode, I share my experience of growing up without a mother, and its impact that I still feel all these years later. I also speak to losing my father, and overall, to living a parentless life. For anyone else out there who lost their mother or father in childhood or young life, I see you. I love you.

Being Human Takes Guts

Today's episode is Part 2 of my conversation with my guest, Scott Sava - an incredible artist, who has a beautiful new book coming out this November, and is also recently diagnosed with Autism. I hope you enjoy our chat!

His upcoming book, "Becoming an Artist" is out this November and you can pre-order on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401996930/?bestFormat=true&k=becoming%20an%20artist&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_18&crid=2VLKKMUPQWD2O&sprefix=becoming%20an%20artist

Scott Christian Sava is an artist, animator, illustrator, director, writer, producer, and part-time Hobbit! Over the last 30 years, Scott's work has brought some of the world's most beloved characters to life in film, television, comics, and games, from Casper the Friendly Ghost to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Star Trek to Spider-Man. Scott's unique talents and vision have been called upon by Marvel Comics, Disney, Universal Studios, Nickelodeon, and more.

In 2000, he founded Blue Dream Studios, which has produced work for Star Wars, X-Files, Aliens vs. Predator, Spider-Man, and other franchises, in addition to creating its own line of kids' graphic novels. The studio's first feature film, Animal Crackers, is on Netflix and was the summer of 2020's #1 animated movie in the world.

Currently, you can find Scott making videos online to his over 4 million followers where he talks about art, autism, and how to be a kinder artist… and human.

Scott lives with his wife and two kids in a Hobbit Hole in Tennessee. Scott's mission, simply put, is to "make the world a kinder, gentler place, one story at a time."

Welcome to COURAGEOUS AF

Being Human Takes Guts

In this episode, I share part two of my conversation with Pi Luna, where we discuss our own journeys of being late-diagnosed with Autism, and our lives as artists.

Pi is an amazing artist who uses a collage technique that involves tiny pieces of magazine clippings, mimicking actual paint.

If you are curious to hear about the experience of living with autism as a creative and integrating the news later in life, you'll gain a new perspective from our conversation.
