Art comes in many different styles, but for our guest today, it always seems to have one theme: positivity. Sydney Duarte is a globetrotting artist and avid yogi, and genuinely has all of the elements that make up her life show up in her work. As a mother/daughter duo design company Duarte Designs, we ask Sydney about working with her artist mother, taking care of her younger brother, finding the right moment to make the jump from the corporate world and why she enjoys making art that's not just a statement, but interactive.

RANDY PAUL! That's how Jay likes to say this talented singer/songwriter's name. They have a history which we jump into on this episode, including Randy's time being signed to controversial Lou Pearlman's management label, having to wait in the broom closet to go onstage since he was too young to be in bars, and the transition from guitarist, to songwriter, to singer.

Our guest today is a Mixologist and cocktail owner of the bar Stumptown Station, Brandon Mills. This is our 2nd attempt at an interview, because Brandon is SO GOOD at making drinks that we may (or may not) have had some technical difficulty the first time around. His story of restarting in a new profession and making sure to dedicate to the theory of 10,000 hours as well as being a hilarious guy made this episode worth doing again.
