Hey y'all Happy New Year! This episode is from 2021 and it might have taken me 2 months to get around to uploading it, but it ties into 2022 quite nicely!

A lot of us are burnt out. We've been working so hard for so long, during a pandemic, working those odd jobs to get by, etc. We're tired. We have no energy left and we've run out of steam (and self esteem).

Take a break.

Nero and I had a great conversation on some of the 'symptoms of social media' as he put it. It's always important to step away and take the time off so you can come back to things stronger than ever. Take this opportunity to hit the ground running in 2022, and remember to take breaks. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Michael Lote(Nero) is a Pittsburgh artist and of course we talked about his background, style, inspiration, and more. It was a great Q&A so thank you to anyone who submitted a question! It happened to be the day before Halloween so we had to get a spooky story in there too - check it out, and as always, let me know what you think below!
