InkleDeux Podcast

This is a nice short podcast, as stated in the show, we ran out of hosting space. We didn't have much, but I still wanted to get something out there for everyone. Confidence comes from consistency, right? Plus, we've been meaning to discuss our 2019 goals for a while and this was a perfect opportunity. I hope my voice didn't put you to sleep.

I would like to reiterate that we truly want your feedback on all of this. Post it in the comments, reply on social media, send us an email, whatever is most comfortable for you. The only way we can make a show you really enjoy, is by telling us what you like and dislike, or by what you ask us to talk about.

We discovered Michael's work through Instagram, most notably by his bottle openers. One of my favorite things about Michael's page is that his business his him, and not some fake front. He shares the things he cares about and talks about his family. We discuss his first love of skateboarding and how a car accident with his friends lead him to do a fund raiser, making corn hole boards, and discovered his love for word work. He now combines his two loves by using reclaimed skateboards in many of his designs.

Brandon recently heard 3 celebrities discuss how they grew up in the Catholic Church but do not credit the church for their sense of morality. Our culture has progressed down a patch of minimalism that results in a Church giving people check boxes rather than truth. We have to dig past the surface and get to what is good and meaningful.

There is a lot to jump on in this podcast and I would invite you to throw it all at us. The whole point of this is debate without hate.

We became aware of Jesse's art through craft beer. His style is very unique and easy to identify due to his color selection, lines, and characterizations. Jesse is very self-aware of what he does as an artist and a person. There is a lot to pull from this interview on how to interact with art, the role of an artist in a community, how art can be used for healing, as well as some good information on how to succeed as an artist entrepreneur.

Mental health is important and not always something you can just shake off with a beer or Netflix binge. It requires courage, vulnerability, strong relationships, and sometimes the help of a professional.

Brandon shares a troubling story about someone he worked with which begins the in depth discussion, mostly from the male perspective, on dealing with the pressures of life. Please share so we can help bring mental health to the forefront of 2019.

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tanya from Mamma Toledo's The Pie Hole. She shared her deeper experiences and how overcoming those shaped her as a business owner. In the podcast we discuss how she came to start her business, how she stays in love with baking after so many years, and what it's like hiring family members (a lesson we listened to intently). I must say we did buy pie after speaking with her. We recommend that all of you go buy pie.
