Author, attorney and man of the world Alexei Auld joins me today for another fun convo in which we cover life in the arts, self-imposed restrictions, personal safety nets and the oddities of life.

Born to a Jamaican father and First Nation mother, Alexei comes from a family of artists and curiously enough, decided to become a lawyer. His perspectives come from a different vantage point, and there's a lot of great observations made here. Be sure to check out the Slate featurette done with him and his parents here.

Alexei has written various books, including 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration, Tonto Canto Pocahontas, and Billionaire Secrets of a Wanglorious Bastard. His work is available via Amazon.com and on his website.
