This week we chat with one of Shawn's longtime friends: the artist currently known as Tommy Kern. In addition to being a sought-after sculptor and furniture maker, Tommy is a brilliant photographer. We talk about what it means to be an artist and why it's so important to have a creative practice. How can we quiet our inner perfectionist? What do we do when we're intimidated by others' work? How can we develop our own voice and perspective and honor our own truth? We end this episode with a simple phone photography challenge. You should try it. We did. It felt really really good.
