The Creative Imbalance

End of an era and beginning of a new! Today we are joined with Sammy Younan (the founder of Girth Radio)with the very last recording within our former home The Pacific Junction Hotel. This episode isn't as sad as you would expect. We talk about how following an untraditional path you need to roll with the punches, expect the unexpected, and keep the fire burning. We dedicate this episode to anyone who is currently going through a difficult change or transition in their lives. Keep your head up, ride out the waves, and never let the bumps in the road fully sidetrack you from the true calling within your heart.

Our pal John Orpheus returns for a philosophical conversation that is full of heart and soul. As we catchup he gives us the scoop on the book he is writing, his music/the Haus Orpheus movement. Also around all that we talk about life, humanity, and the energy within each and everyone of us.

Our pal Patrick Maloney is back for the second time! Pat is a comedic film director who is know for his web series "Game Show!" that is featured on Vice, worked for Funny or Die, and ran a hilarious Youtube channel called Random At Best. In this episode we have a lot of laughs and jump around an insane amount of topics such as, live football culture anarchy, hospital stories, ways to deal with creative career stress, positive/negative people, the Mandela effect, and how fucking fun the scene of Independent Pro Wrestling in Toronto is.

Todays episode features a great talk with hip hop artist Patrik. He currently resides in Montreal and released a fantastic new EP out titled "Spadina" that is heavily based on his influences of being raised in Toronto. Beyond hearing about his roots of how he segued into the rap game we dive deeper and deeper into subjects of creativity, manifestation, and many other beyond the surface topics as the interview goes on.

In this heartfelt episode we are joined with Ayesha Taylor to both celebrate and mourn the end of an era. To fill you in The Pacific Junction Hotel bar and home of the studio that we record in has been SOLD. Ayesha is not only the general manager of PJH but she is also an incredible photographer, videographer, consultant and amazing mind that strives at mixing both creativity and business practices. Her spirit is one of the many factors that pushed PJH to be a second home for so many "Misfit" creatives. We talk about what made that place so magical, raise a glass, shed some tears, and say goodbye in this very special conversation.

On todays episode we are joined with Mugabi Byenkya author of the book "Dear Philomena". This chat is one of the deepest we ever had on this show as Mugabi breaks down the beyond interesting concept of the book, and the process of being inspired to write it after the doctors told him that he only had a couple years to live. He also walks us through his process of what he did to overcome the pain of death and what lead to the creation of this beautiful novel that helped give him strength to live, internationally connect with others, and tour all across North America/East Africa.

Today we are joined with actor and entrepreneur George Christodoulou. From the minute we met him we knew he needed to be on this show. His story is an amazing example of how happiness doesn't come from always chasing money and that you must follow the calling within your heart. This one is full of laughs, honesty, and inspiration.

In this special episode we hit up the Sirius XM headquarters and have a hilarious chat with Jay Brody and Roddy Colmer of The Dumb Show. These two connected by both being regulars on the Todd Shapiro Show and branched off in their own creative direction by embracing the comedic chemistry between them. The Dumb Show consists of epicly funny skits and musical numbers. We talk about their craft and kick off the conversation by explaining how magic mushrooms were the reason that we needed to reschedule this very interview.

Todays guest is Jeremy LaLonde! He is a film director who has a new movie about to be released titled "The Go-Getters" that is pretty much an insane rom-com that involves a deadbeat alcoholic and a drugged out hooker. It may have been one of the funniest movies I've seen all year, and beyond talking about the movie we dive into Jeremy's story of how he got into directing movies to where he is now.

Today is Episode 69 and we had to do this one proper with the return of rapper/pornstar Mindbender Supreme! So many things were talked about on this one that it is impossible for me to make the usual bullet points, but check this one out if you want to hear an in depth convo about art and the universe!
