Ep. 12 - “Jos of All Trades” (The Art of Pursuing Multiple Art Forms)
Jos does A LOT. He was Lola in the international tour of Kinky Boots, he designed costumes for Steppenwolf, he had a featured role on Showtime’s “The Chi,” he’s a makeup artist, he offers multiple masterclasses, and so much more! We had a great discussion with Jos on how artists can not just juggle, but fully pursue their multifaceted nature and wide variety of interests as artists. Read Jos’ full bio below, and visit their website here.
Today we try another coffee from Lineage. This time, it’s a peaberry from Gathaithi. Try it here!
