In our latest episode, we learn a little bit more about two of our regular hosts and Amplify Committee members: Ash Halinda and Kaden Pealsee. They take turns to interview each other about the kinds of art that motivate them to create and get into their philosophies on sharing their art--including the tough times when it doesn't go so well. They tackle the idea of what truly *is* an accomplishment and how to push back against self-criticism.
