Hot Tub, aka Ryan Krumins is a human ray of sunshine. In this episode we're talking about the Vancouver music scene and industry, Ryan's long history with music, and how he learned to produce music from a very limited knowledge base. I was genuinely interested in hearing about the technical side of electronic music!

In part two of Jess's conversation with Geoff Gauthier of The Blowouts, we have a lot of laughs, we have the GIF/JIF debate, and it gets heavy in the second half when Geoff discusses his struggles with concussion rehab therapy.

It's our first two-parter! Jess had such a wonderful conversation with Geoff Gauthier (punk rock dad) that they filled almost two hours and we couldn't find anything we wanted to cut. In part one we chat with Geoff about his journey with the band he plays in, The Blowouts, as well as the creative aspects of his day job. But bring tissues for next week because part two gets really heavy.

In this episode Jess chats with photographer and all around creative person, Kayla MacInnis. We cover great topics like authenticity on social media, making an effort to maintain a social life, and taking control of your quality of life rather than just going through the motions.

In episode three Jess if flying solo talking to you about being a beginner at things. Even the greats were at one time beginners in their craft. It's ok not to know everything!

In episode two Jess is chatting with podcaster Derek Bolen who made some huge changes in his life a few years ago that freed up time for so many fulfilling creative pursuits.

In episode one, illustrator-on-the-side Jess Couture is chatting with writer, blogger, and funny woman Deepali Parhar who within the last few years has begun to live her life with authenticity, even if it's against her parents' wishes.
