Meki Blackwell is an Orange County native and "Movement Specialist." Passionate about vocational calling and purposeful living, Meki views her work as practitioner of Pilates, dance, choreography, and myofascial release (manual release of connective tissue) through the lens of 'thoughtful collaboration with the great Maestro of Creation'.

Despite congenital deformation, Meki enjoyed ten years of employment as a professional dancer and loves thorough, thoughtful discussions that provide insight to the human body, movement, health, the spiritual life and formation of the soul. She holds a B.A. and M.F.A. in dance, a dance specialization in Pilates, and is a published author of graduate research in fascia release, motor recruitment and movement efficiency.

Meki has lived in Asia and Europe as well as Orange County, feels somewhat certain that God is neither democrat nor republican, and cries every time she hears a good country song. She loves expanding her community and is quite honored to deep dive with other like-minded people via the Up and Comers Show.

Ethan Renoe is a youth pastor, writer and speaker in Denver Colorado. He is a Moody graduate currently attending Denver Seminary in pursuit of his Master of Divinity degree. He has been on 6 continents, is working on his fourth book, and has done 5 one-armed pull-ups. Ethan has not fallen in love, but he did fall out of a tree in front of a cute girl one time.

In this interview, Thane and Ethan dive into a plethora of pertinent and practical topics for Up & Comers of our generation.

From Ethan's cultural experiences, to the tradeoffs in traveling, to viral famedom and the resulting downfalls, to writing, to ministering, to the balance of faith, and more. This conversation is thought-provoking, intriguing, and unassuming as two men strive to honestly assess and evaluate what it means to "live a good life".
