This episode's guests, Clayton Romero and Brandon Duke, are the owners of Novis Opera and the creators of Garfield's Crossing, a large project that began as writing and curating short stories set around a fictional town in North Georgia.  It has grown into a large creative universe with many writers and contributors and is in the process of converting their written stories into fully-produced and voice-acted audio plays.  They also have a current Kickstarter campaign to help fund their productions.  We discuss creating a fictional universe, writing, dealing with creatives, and independently funding these kinds of efforts.  Enjoy!

I struggled with how to describe this episode's guest, Trey Humphreys.  His life experience is one of the most unique and self-driven as any I've encountered, and he has more fun than most people you know.  He sums himself up as "Author. Life Coach. Extreme Weirdo."  We'll discuss his weirdo-ness, challenging yourself every day, dealing with fear, fur lining busses, and more.  I hope this conversation makes you think about who you are, what you do, and why you are doing it.  It did for me.

Enjoy!
