Hey!
This week I brought my friend and mentor Blake on the podcast for an open-ended conversation which ended up getting pretty personal.
We talked about:
The panic attack I had after a 2-day marathon business/life design session
Why I sometimes feel sad when I see my favourite artists perform
Blake transitioning from artist to business-man back to artist
Intuition, spirituality and romantic relationships
