Some people take the conventional path and spend years wondering what the other one looked like. Some people take the unconventional one and spend years wondering if they made a mistake. This show is for the second group.

Absolutely Sure, No Idea is a podcast about creative people, creative career changers, and unconventional entrepreneurs who chose a path without a roadmap — and are still figuring it out.

Hosted by Piper Watson and David Richardson, two people who've known each other since the nineties, grown up on opposite coasts, and each built incredible creative pathways without knowing exactly what it was going to look like.

In this intro episode, they get into who they are and why this show exists — David's journey from fronting a band on the Warped Tour circuit to building a cornerstone of San Francisco's queer club scene, getting sober, and eventually becoming a substance abuse counselor.

Piper's path from art school to a 3,000-mile bicycle trip through Eastern Europe to National Geographic photo camps to LGBTQ wedding photography to running a nonprofit and becoming a coach. And the moment on a mountain road in the Czech Republic where her life changed forever.

• What it actually feels like to not know what's next — and do it anyway
• The difference between being known for something and building something that means something
• Why the conventional path felt like it was never quite built for either of them
• What "absolutely sure, no idea" means to each of them personally
