This interview is with professional artist and big wave surfer Drew Brophy. Some magical things happened when we combined two surf artists to chat about surf, art, science, chakras, universal laws, intentional creativity and the energy in the universe...Jay and Drew got super nerdy and super gnarly in every direction.

We learned about Drew’s focus towards science-based art and how he got to where he is today in his ever-evolving career. Have fun with us as we ride through Drew's stories of Stand Up Paddling through the Grand Canyon and surfing waves bigger than my house.

Hearing Drew's humble beginnings in South Carolina of being told he wouldn't make it as a surfer or an artist and his courageous leap into painting surfboards as a stepping stone will have your head spinning with possibilities.

This weeks episode is with Rob Nagel, the founder, and owner of the New Jersey and Florida based restaurant chain Surf Taco.

Rob’s story is that of an accidental entrepreneur. He went from not knowing what he wanted to do to owning 14 restaurants on the east coast.

This is a wild and relatable ride that includes 7 colleges, camping out in the Florida Keys, writing screenplays, moving to California to become the next Steven Spielberg and joining AmeriCorps with his future wife. 

While in Southern California, Rob began creating a business plan for a West Coast restaurant chain he called "Surf and Subs". He inevitably landed back on the east coast where he went on to create the brand "Surf Taco". 

This episode is for every entrepreneur stuck on “whats next for me” and creative minds trying to find the business side of their brain.   Rob’s ability to visualize the future and paint a picture of a brand is creative and something to aspire towards.

Considering the Alma Surf Festival was in some ways where Jay’s big shift happened toward his exploding surf art career it was an absolute honor to chat with Romeu about how he got to where he is today.

In this episode Romeu talks about passion, love, ego and fear the way only a Brazilian can.

  This weeks episode is with our good friend and fellow artist Alex Lanau. We first met Alex because of his amazing art work covering the walls of local New Jersey hot spot, Surf Taco.   Alex’s art career has deep roots in the Surf and Music world, spanning from his early days working alongside legendary bands like Sublime and Weezer.   Alex calls Pavones, Costa Rica home and if you have been anywhere in Costa Rica, it is almost a guarantee you've already seen his amazing murals that cover the country.     Alex is humble, stealth, kind and talented and we are excited to share his journey and career with you.    But also....

Leave us a Review   This week's episode is with the owner of Denver's David B. Smith Art Gallery, David B. Smith.  We start our chat with David discussing how he shifted his path in life by using a MySpace Forum to create the reputation he needed to develop the reputable and dynamic art gallery he owns today.    So, how do we define art?  Since that's a question that we seem to debate together basically daily. We were excited to hear David discuss the many boundaries being broken in the modern art world.   David talks about how he sees the impact on social change through edgy installations and impactful displays in his gallery. Then we got to probe David with questions on how as a gallery owner he chooses artists, what is the best way to approach a gallery and what are the things that excite him in the art world.     But also....

Leave us a Rating & Review   This weeks interview is with local New Jersey Native Quincy Mumford.  We have known Quincy since he was a 16 year old kid playing in taco joints. So this months release of his oh so soulful single"ThankYou" off his forthcoming EP Titled"EveryWednesday" (which has reached almost 400K streams in four weeks we might add) has completely blown our minds.   Not only is this a phenomenal new direction and sound for Quincy, but through our conversation we realize its the sound he has always been searching for.   In this episode we discuss Quincy’s decision to wipe his entire musical history on iTunes clean and start fresh with his funky and soulful new album.   We touch upon everything from the business side of being an artist, neglecting your art, being true to yourself and finding that sound and what it is like working with other people to make that vision happen.   We could not adore Quincy and his family more, this interview means so much to us.  We are so excited for you to get to know Quincy the way we do.   But Also:

This week on Shifting Perceptions we sat down and chatted with Will Conner. Will owns and runs a large hat brand called Conner Hats out of St. Augustine, Florida and performs his music alongside legends like Singer/Songwriter Jack Johnson and Pro-Surfer Dave Rastovich as his side gig.

Will is an incredible singer/songwriter, a successful entrepreneur, a surfer, an environmental activist, a father and a citizen of the world. His story is that of balance, passion, creativity and floating along to find huge success in all areas of his life.  

Will walks us through what it was like to grow up in a hippie commune in Byron Bay, Australia and then coming to the U.S. He describes what it is like to still live in both countries while traveling back and forth with his family and where music fits in all of this.  

He walks us through his creative process as a musician and tells us about his passionate for protecting the environment.

Will has one of the more fascinating upbringings that we’ve ever heard of and is a multi-facetted human being with many talents and successes. Will isn’t a bragger, but he sure has a lot to be proud of. Will and his story are inspirational.
