Hey!This week I brought my friend and mentor Blake on the podcast for an open-ended conversation which ended up getting pretty personal.

We talked about:

* The panic attack I had after a 2-day marathon business/life design session

* Why I sometimes feel sad when I see my favourite artists perform

* Blake transitioning from artist to business-man back to artist

* Intuition, spirituality and romantic relationships
