Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

What if you woke up one morning, checked your stats, and realized your sales were up 521%...without running a single ad? That's exactly what happened to Wendy Mitchell, a botanical artist who went from relying on festival sales to pay her bills, to building real online sales from her studio in Colorado. Today she's walking us through exactly what she did — and trust me, you can do this too. Here's what you can do to start now:
In just a few weeks, our nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of its independence. As we approach this historic milestone, “Think Out Loud” hears from guests whose life experiences and personal histories illuminate different aspects of what it means to be an American. For the second installment of this series, we’ll hear from Ebony Frison, a Portlander, artist, and U.S. Air Force Veteran. After her time in the military, her art has largely included archiving photographic work by Newton Carroll. Carroll was a Black American military photographer whose work depicted military members from segregated U.S. Army units during World War II. What she found in those nearly 90-year-old images, was faces and expressions and experiences of those service members that mirrored her own time in the military. Her ongoing series, “Black Valor,” uses archival photos and documents to log her family’s connection to the U.S. Military and chronicles stories and images of Black life that are missing from official historical narratives.

I can still remember being told by well-meaning adults in my life that “you can’t make money from your creative work.” But is that really true? In this episode, I trace back my beliefs about money and creativity and share what I’m learning about the inevitable connection between the two. Thanks for following along!

There's a question that follows almost every artist. Some days you barely notice it. Other days it's the loudest thing in the room. But it's always there: Will I ever make it?Will anyone see my work? Will I ever become the artist I imagine myself to be? And the hardest part there's no report card, no promotion, no guaranteed timeline. Just you, your work, and a lot of uncertainty.In this solo episode, Charuka Arora Founder of Arts to Hearts Project talks through the question every artist is too afraid to say out loud and the quiet myths we carry about what "making it" is supposed to look like. After working with thousands of artists through Arts to Hearts Project, she's noticed something: most artists don't quit because they lack talent. They quit because they're exhausted by the story, they're telling themselves about where they should be.This is an honest, gentle conversation about success, comparison, burnout, and the small belief that keeps real artists going.In this episode:Why most artists are struggling with uncertainty, not with their artThe guilt of doing "five jobs at once" and why the system was never built to be kept up withMyth #1: that success happens overnight (and what's really underneath every "overnight" story)Myth #2: that success looks the same for everyoneMyth #3: that more is always betterWhy play and "bad work" matter more than strategyHow to let jealousy become a compass instead of a woundThe one question worth more than "Will I ever make it?"If you've ever felt behind, invisible, or quietly afraid you'll never get there this one's for you.Press play. Then go make the thing you'd make even if nobody noticed.
This episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman Podcast with host Luis Guzman features chef and entrepreneur Gustavo Gutierrez, a culinary force behind a growing Cuban cafe brand built from food trucks, late nights, and relentless experimentation. Gustavo's story moves from Union City kitchens and fine dining pressure cookers to building a multi-location food business rooted in culture, discipline, and survival instincts shaped long before he ever stepped into a professional kitchen.We get into street-to-chef transition, culinary school, Cirque-like fine dining, mentorship under tough chefs, learning systems, cost control, and why real restaurant training is more about repetition and problem solving than recipes. Gustavo breaks down how he learned speed, precision, and respect for ingredients while working brutal stations and long hours before applying those lessons to empanadas and Cuban sandwiches.Then the conversation shifts into entrepreneurship, pricing philosophy, and customer perception. Gustavo challenges the idea that food should be judged only by price, comparing it to luxury goods and explaining how quality ingredients, handmade masa, and protein-heavy empanadas come at a cost that reflects real labor and standards.We also explore leadership and ownership. Gustavo talks about running multiple food trucks, training staff, dealing with breakdowns, and staying composed when everything hits at once. From motor failures to last-minute shortages, he explains how business owners become problem solvers first and chefs second.One of the most powerful parts of the episode focuses on mindset, ego, and accountability. Gustavo opens up about cutting ties with destructive environments, learning when to step back from people he loves, and understanding that personal growth sometimes requires distance. He also reflects on entitlement culture, social media criticism, and how anonymous opinions rarely reflect real experience.The reality of fine dining kitchens and what most chefs never talk aboutBuilding empanadas from scratch, including handmade masa and protein-first recipesWhy pricing food is about ingredients, labor, and sustainability, not comparisonManaging food trucks, breakdowns, and unpredictable operations under pressureLeadership lessons from training staff and building trust in a kitchen teamThe shift from hustling in the streets to building structured business systemsHow ego, discipline, and accountability shape long-term successTo close, Gustavo and Luis reflect on growth, long-term vision, and what it means to build something that lasts beyond personal effort. From kitchen floors to business ownership, the conversation ties together creativity, discipline, and resilience as core ingredients for any entrepreneur trying to build without losing identity along the way. Listeners are left with a grounded look at what it really takes to scale a food brand while staying connected to culture and craft.Listeners who connect with this conversation can follow the journey of IAANAS Podcast as it continues highlighting creatives, chefs, and entrepreneurs who are building careers through skill, discipline, and lived experience rather than shortcuts.

Louise-Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun could paint anyone so they looked full of character, and vibrantly alive. So Europe's aristocrats clamored for her brush. But when the French Revolution toppled thrones and chopped off heads, she had to run for her life. For 12 years across Europe, she chased her lost Eden. Can you ever get back to the Good Old Days? Our guest is Judith Lissauer Cromwell, author of Louise-Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Portrait of an Artist 1755-1842. ________________ Music in this episode generously shared by: Haydn Symphony 85 (famed as Marie Antoinette's favorite!) recorded by Ars Lyrica Houston; J.S.

In 2024, Bay Raitt and Rob Tercek co-founded a generative AI startup with experts in machine learning and computer graphics to build agentic tools and workflows optimized for artists. Bay is a polymath: an artist, storyteller, animator, game designer, comic book author. He plays LLMs like a virtuoso performer. In this episode, Bay shares his views on the current state of AI models, trends in vibe coding, the importance of stories with a human heartbeat, context wielding as a creative art, how AI “slop cannons” will get paved over by agentic visualizers, how to build a deeper creative relationship with Claude, how AI can help writers harmonize with the past, how to summon the ghost of Dorothy Parker, how to hypnotize an LLM like a king cobra, why AI sucks when people use artless prompts, AI psychosis, and why Voltaire judged people by their questions not their answers.

Aisha also opens up about burnout, losing her love for dance, finding it again through teaching, and the realities of navigating a constantly changing industry. From unforgettable stories on stage to practical insights on artistry, professionalism, and longevity, this episode offers a candid look at what it takes to grow not only as a dancer, but as a performer and person.

During the pandemic, Lara Blair found herself with a lot of time on her hands. With her Camas photography studio sitting idle, Blair reminisced about her childhood and two things that brought her joy as a 10-year-old: donuts and dollhouses. Thanks to how-to videos she saw on YouTube, she soon began making sculptures of donuts from clay, adorned with sprinkles and surreal, whimsical elements such as tiny people with ropes climbing up their frosted, candy-colored sides. Today, Blair works full time as a small-scale artist creating intricate dioramas, shadow boxes, commissioned pieces and other tiny, sculpted works she sells online or at Gallery 408 in Camas. The Columbian recently profiled Blair and a miniature version of the art gallery she designed and helped create with the gallery’s co-owners featuring tiny, painted canvases and sculptures Blair and other local artists, including Portland painter Bianca Youngers, contributed. The mini gallery was inspired by a conversation Blair had with Rachael Harms Mahlandt, a Portlander who co-created the PDX Sidewalk Joy Map that has since expanded worldwide. Harms Mahlandt was one of the featured guests on Blair’s new podcast, “Tiny Worlds, Big Stories.” Blair and Youngers talk with us about making small-scale art that can spark delight and childlike wonder for its creators and audiences alike.
My relationship with the creative force was one of the most fraught areas of my life.It's the one area that brought up the most fear, the most anxiety, and the deepest heartbreak.It's also an area where I've learned to do the most significant, personally-meaningful transmutation and alchemy.In this episode, I share some of my current contemplations on reclaiming the inner creative.Engaging with our innate creative force, seeking the holy grail of true artistry, and walking the spiritual path are not separate endeavors.And for the creative mystic, the challenge of bringing all these facets together into a cohesive, flowing conversation is one of the most satisfying endeavors._______Resources & LinksJoin the waitlist for Creative Exorcism, my upcoming summer course on unleashing your inner creative beast here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private ongoing guidance with me.

Show Notes What happens to creativity when every song, sound, and style is a thumb-tap away? Sam Young has spent more than two decades behind the decks in London, and his answer is blunt: originality is at an all-time low. As a DJ, producer, remixer, and founder of the record label WyldCard, he sits at the exact point where taste, technology, and commerce collide, and he sees a culture increasingly content to recycle what already works. Sean Martin and Sam Young dig into how algorithms quietly shape what listeners believe they like, and how that pressure reaches the dance floor. Sam Young draws a clear line between a club night, where a crowd shows up hungry for records it has never heard, and a private event, where the real skill is reading a host's taste from the handful of songs they send and still making the room move. The throughline is judgment, the human ear that no recommendation engine has learned to replace. The conversation turns to sampling, AI, and the difference between craft and shortcut. Sam Young runs A&R for WyldCard himself, listening to demos every week, and he can hear within seconds when a producer is chasing a trend instead of setting one. His distinction is sharp: taking something obscure and making it feel new is an art, while feeding a recognizable hook into a tool and printing one more cover version is not. He is candid about AI as a cheat code, and just as candid about a near future where producers simply talk to their software and ask for ten options. This is not a lament, though. Sam Young points to the rare artists who still cut through precisely because they refuse to sound like everyone else, and to a younger generation quietly rediscovering originality. The optimistic version of the story is the one Sean Martin keeps circling back to: technology at its best clears away the busywork so the mind stays in control of what gets made. The question this episode leaves open is whether the tools that make music easier to produce will widen the gap between the familiar and the genuinely new, or finally close it.

In this episode of Paint Rest Repeat, I'm joined by abstract painter Abbie White for a beautiful conversation about art, grief, resilience, family, and learning to trust your own creative voice. Abbie paints on raw canvas using acrylics to create soft, dreamy, watercolour-like works that feel calm, nostalgic and deeply emotional. In this conversation, she shares how painting became a way to process the loss of both her parents, how her mum's influence continues to shape her work, and how her creative practice helped her move through a challenging season in her family life. We also talk about art fairs, rejection, entering prizes, connecting with collectors, and why artists need to spend less time looking outward and more time looking inward. If you've ever felt pressure to rush your style, compare yourself to other artists, or question whether your work is “enough”, this conversation is a gentle reminder to trust your own path.

Keep winning! Felecia Hatcher CEO of Black Ambition, the national entrepreneurial initiative founded by Grammy-winning artist Pharrell Williams. Black Ambition provides capital, mentorship, mental wellness support, and a nationally competitive platform for Black and Hispanic founders, particularly those from HBCUs and underserved communities. Throughout the conversation, Hatcher breaks down the mission of Black Ambition, how its competition works, success stories, the mentorship pipeline, and her personal entrepreneurial journey from being a self‑described “C student” to running a major national innovation fund. Purpose of the Interview 1. Introduce Black Ambition’s Mission and Impact To explain how Black Ambition funds, mentors, and accelerates Black and Hispanic founders, awarding millions in capital and building pathways to long-term entrepreneurial success. 2. Educate Entrepreneurs on How to Compete Successfully Hatcher breaks down the application process, common mistakes, and how to stand out in one of the nation’s most competitive entrepreneurial prize competitions. 3. Inspire Through Transparency and Personal Storytelling Her journey—from a C student to tech entrepreneur, to CEO working directly with Pharrell—models what perseverance and creativity can achieve. 4. Spread Awareness of Black Ambition Resources & Events She highlights opportunities like Demo Day, masterclasses, mentorship cohorts, and the Fundable Founders Forum. Key Takeaways 1. Black Ambition Creates “Unprecedented Access” for Black & Brown Founders Hatcher emphasizes the organization’s mission of closing opportunity gaps caused by misaligned mentorship and unequal access to funding.Black Ambition invests capital, provides structured mentorship, and connects entrepreneurs to world-class partners (e.g., Louis Vuitton). 2.

She cites an example: Lawrence Phillips, founder of Green Book Global, who succeeded on his third try. 4. Holistic Approach: Mental Health & Wellness Along with capital and mentorship, Black Ambition offers mental-wellness support because entrepreneurship is emotionally taxing.Founders are encountering proximity to wealth and power for the first time, and need guidance on transparency, investor expectations, and emotional resilience. 5. Black Women Are Fastest-Growing Entrepreneurs—But Need Teams Hatcher notes that Black women lead in entrepreneurship but often operate without teams.Black Ambition does not invest in solopreneurs; founders must demonstrate team-building capacity to create economic multiplier effects in communities. 6. Pharrell’s Why: Opening Doors He Once Needed Pharrell invests in Black Ambition because: He once needed others to “believe in him until he could believe in himself.” He wants to dismantle gatekeeping in industries where Black talent exists but opportunity does not. He believes “talent is not equally distributed by zip code, but opportunity can be.” 7. Felecia Hatcher’s Personal Origin Story Her credibility comes from lived experience: A “C student” told she’d never make it to college College dropout Built multiple tech companies Founded Black Tech Week and the Center for Black Innovation Comes from a family of Jamaican farmers and Georgia builders who were “entrepreneurs before the word was used.”. Her takeaway: Creativity builds pathways to success that traditional systems overlook. 8.

Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

What happens when a nurse and a pediatrician decide that the antidote to moral distress might be poetry, circles, and the Artist's Way? In this episode, I sit down with Laura Holford, RN and Dr. Anu Gorukanti, co-founders of Introspective Spaces, to talk about contemplative practice, community care, and what it actually looks like to bring your whole weird human self to work.

Join Talk Cosmos, Sunday 14 JUNE 2026, 1–2 p.m. PDT as we explore the “GEMINI CAPRICORN MOON PHASES” about the upcoming New and Full Moon.Together, the theme of the two upcoming moon phases coincides with several big celestial turning points. In between the new and full moon, Chiron enters Taurus after its long 8-yr Aries transit. Taurus shifts us to begin its 7-year transit of healing self-worth where we shift perceptions from scarcity to abundance.Importantly, this month's pair of lunations suggests gathering information to activate new directions for healing our worth and environment. It begins June 14 with the 24°03' Gemini New Moon promoting deep activation, completing a powerful healing process of releasing what prevents us from nurturing our full identity.On June 29 the 8°15' Capricorn Full Moon occurs a week after the June 21 Summer Solstice, which falls on the first quarter moon. The next day, on the 30th, Jupiter enters its new year cycle in Leo! Shortly thereafter, Jupiter will square Chiron on July 1 to activate healing in a BIG way. Perhaps wounds surfacing of scarcity to be addressed with the intent of beginning to transmute these limitations towards an expanded perspective for experiencing abundance.It helps to remember that Gemini connects and gathers information, while Capricorn strips anything superficial away to find its fundamental basis. Together their energetic consciousness operates to achieve a sense of clarity; necessary for the spark of Mars activating the Uranian essence in the moment as they will soon be conjunct in Gemini the communicator.The Essence of the LuminaryThe second week of the month focuses on capturing the Moon's essence during its New and Full phases. As our most personal planet, the Moon regulates the past as it flows into the present, allowing us to experience emotions, habits, and feelings. Ultimately, it helps us piece together the meaningfulness of our life story. Each month offers the energetic input needed to grow, heal, and develop in mind, body, heart, and spirit.The Conversation Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Catch new weekly episodes and subscribe to TalkCosmos.com to access the latest content through YouTube, Facebook, radio, and podcast platforms.AMANDA PIERCE: blends her eclectic style of astrology and energy magic around a soul-centered approach to life and healing.

Kat is down with a sore throat, a lost voice, an ear infection, and a baby on board all at the same time, so please send her all the love. Amy is feeling grateful today because when Kat couldn't record, she reached out to one of her favorite humans to fill in. Ally Fallon is an author, a mother, and the host of the Write Your Story podcast, which you've probably already seen on our feed every Saturday. She's been a friend and mentor to Amy through a lot of different seasons and today's conversation is exactly why. Amy has Ally kick things off with a story about getting bangs with her daughter. She's also in a really intentional creative season right now. She's working through The Artist's Way, doing a 30 day Instagram challenge (sharing content about the unconscious rules that keep us stuck, the purpose of creativity, and why you can't overcome a broken body.) Plus Ally opens up about her toxic mold experience, a health journey that was incredibly hard to diagnose and has impacted her life in a big way. Amy also shares a whimsy of the week (from Anna Vaus) that involves your morning coffee mug giving you good luck with every sip!

Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1988, Rodriguez graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a BFA in Illustration (2010), while simultaneously studying at the Grand Central Atelier (2008–2010), and later at the Art Students League of NY (2013–2016). Since then, Rodriguez has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Europe, South America, and the United States, and was also the recipient of the 2016 Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, the 2019 John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Scholarship, and the 2019 Donald Jurney Travel Fellowship. Over the years, he has developed into a compelling and versatile artist, with works in the film, comic book, publishing, and video game industries for clients like Naughty Dog, Lucasfilm, DC Comics, and Magic: The Gathering. He currently lives and works out of his studio in Los Angeles, California. Irvin was the 2011 recipient of the L. Ron Hubbard Golden Brush Award. He has been an Illustrators of the Future judge since 2023. In this episode, Irvin discusses his journey in a successful artistic career. Learn more at irvinrodriguez.com.
We look back on the life of David Hockney - one of the world's most influential modern artists and one of the best-known British contributors to Pop Art.

Iran says major parts of an agreement to end the war with the US have almost been finalised after President Trump claimed a deal was ready to be signed. The UN's top official on HIV and AIDS says massive international aid cuts have left the world's response to the disease "in peril". The number of Palestinians forced from their homes in Occupied East Jerusalem is on the rise.

Dive into the fascinating intersection of consciousness and creativity where the dreamworld becomes a personal “Choose Your Own Adventure” playground. For this dream, I'm joined by Dave Green to discuss Doodles in the Dark, An Artist's Guide to Lucid Dreaming. We'll investigate unique methods, focusing on the thrill of creating art directly within a lucid state rather than simply drawing after the fact. We discuss practical nightly routines such as using “interdimensional dream stationery” to maintain a sense of continuity between physical and dream realities. And we'll navigate everything from interactions with unpredictable dream characters to the profound meditative stillness of the “lucid void”.
