Becky Russell is an incredible visual artist and storyteller, a painter and drawer, but also a great friend to me for many years. We talk about what it was like to be a creative child growing up, we share some memories from our school years and Becky describes her experience going to art school and pursuing her craft. Ultimately we dive deep into a very frank conversation about alcohol, porn addiction, and the impact it has had on us. We leave you with some tools to help if you're struggling too.

Ally Vyner is a brilliant cosplay designer and model. In today's episode we examine her artwork in detail, talk about her process, as well as her education in properties and objects. We both explore why we quit our early career plans and pursued creativity, how our faith intersects with our creativity, and we get into the magic of film as mutual inspiration. I also reveal what my next 'Rapification' project is going to be and we discuss the potential prop elements involved. Enjoy this creative fuel!

Jasmine Crowe is a musical artist based in Los Angeles who won the John Lennon Song of the Year award in 2018 for her track, "Breaking Things". We talk about creativity as therapy, what her musical influences were growing up, the importance of authenticity and sacrifice in music, receiving criticism, the idea of failure, and more. I'm confident that as a creative person you are going to find this conversation valuable, helping to keep you in that sacred zone of creativity.

My first guest is Garrett Davis. He is a multiple times published short story author and a very good friend of mine; one of my best friends, in fact. We have both prepared a short story for this episode based on the same prompt, "Idle hands are a devil's playground," and we haven't discussed it ahead of time. We share our stories and use them as a launchpad into the insights of our process as storytellers. Hopefully this will be some fuel for you to inspire your own creativity.
