Creative Community Podcast

Ryan Klein has worked with us before and was gracious enough to sit down and help us test some new equipment (that we will hopefully use in future interviews)! Our discussion ranges from the purpose of art to whether or not creators should have a full-time job in the field they are passionate about. Ryan is a talented illustrator and graphic designer and we are glad to know him! Be on the lookout for more collaborations in the future...

Poetry is a creative endeavor not often thought about as "mainstream" but Mark recently sat down at a coffee shop with Dr. Jones to discuss poetry, context, finding that creative drive and so much more! Her perspective on finding the balance between art and passion is incredible and such a blessing. Poets have social responsibility when putting pen to paper and Dr. Jones gives her unique perspective on providing a "pocket of happiness" when finding words that fit together.
