  • 005 - How To Make It With Doreen Massey

    That's right, I am interviewing my mom for this next episode of Now That's Art. Obviously this is a personal episode, and I debated whether to post it or not. Though I ended up doing it because it has some great bits. I laughed and cried all throughout the episode and it is easily one of my favorite interviews. My mom opens up about how she chose a career in medicine and the battles she fought along the way.

    She also puts me on blast about some of my teenage years and the silly things I did as a kid, which is funny I guess (ha!).


    I hope you enjoy this episode because I know I did.

    As always, we would like any feedback, interaction or any interview guest on the show (DON'T BE SHY). Email [email protected].

    Enjoy :)

    Welcome to Now That’s Art.


    Thank you so much for tuning in.

    It means the world to me.

    So what’s this all about?

    As long as I could remember, deep down, there has been something unsure of my place and purpose. An unknown longing for self-understanding. I didn’t realize, couldn’t really comprehend, all that I didn’t know.

    Being from a small town in Georgia then moving to NYC, I focused on protecting what I knew as sacred and didn’t want to go explore beyond that.

    I took a seemingly benign trip to Rome and Paris. This trip set the stage for my most dramatic existential upheaval. Pre mid-life crisis. What I saw and experienced in Europe changed me forever in the most fundamental way. As I looked at the expansive ceilings of history, the ancient sculpture and statues, they seemed to reach a part of me that hadn’t been seen before.

    Showing me their years and guiding me to the understanding that I truly know nothing.

    Walking amongst the artwork and indelible marks of people long gone inspired a change in me and brought clarity as I’ve never had before. I saw before me history, creation, and purpose. I saw that everything is art and we are all the artists.

    I entered that sweet but arbitrary vacation a well-meaning person and I left a man with a spark of curiosity I haven’t felt in a while. That need has brought me here, to the only place that makes sense. A place to ask questions, to quench my thirst to know and learn from other people.

    Which I’m calling, Now, that’s art.
