Since moving to London I have met some amazingly creative people and just through conversation, they have inspired and taught me so much. I wanted to create a community space where people could come and listen to these conversations and either simply be entertain, or be inspired and motivated to be that catalyst for their own creativity.

Through these episodes, you are going to hear from Artists, Musicians, Actors, Directors, Producers, and many many more people in the creative industry. They are going to share their experiences and how they shaped their career. This advice and conversation should give you insight into how others have pursued their dreams and maybe a way you could pursue yours.

I am your host, Chris Campbell. I have been in the creative field my whole life and through music, photography, and presenting I have met people who have opened my eyes to other possibilities but also made me laugh at the amazing stories they have to tell.
