In this fascinating episode host Chris explores a very different art form when she meets American concrete artist Liz Nichols for a biographical conversation that explores her life, her career in the trades, and creative evolution. From transforming one of the most industrial materials in the world into expressive, tactile works of art, Liz Nichols has carved out a unique space within contemporary American art. From her early influences and formative years to the pivotal moments that shaped her artistic voice, Liz shares how she found her medium in concrete — a material traditionally associated with construction, strength, and permanence — and reimagined it as a vehicle for beauty, storytelling, and emotional depth. This episode dives into the discipline, physicality, and inspiration behind her work, as well as the resilience required to follow her passion outside her construction work in a male-dominated field. Chris and Liz discuss the challenges and breakthroughs that defined her journey, the evolution of her aesthetic, and how she balances craftsmanship with conceptual expression. Listeners will gain insight into the technical demands of working with concrete, the creative risks involved in large-scale sculptural work, and the mindset needed to sustain a life in the arts. This conversation explores identity, perseverance, and what it truly means to construct a life around creativity. Whether you're an artist, art collector, creative entrepreneur, or simply fascinated by stories of reinvention and determination, this episode offers an inspiring look at how unconventional materials can become the foundation for meaningful artistic expression. Tune in to hear Liz Nichols reflect on the intersections of art and industry, the importance of mentorship and opportunity, and her vision for the future of contemporary concrete art. This is a candid and compelling portrait of an artist who builds not just with material, but with intention.

Two time Super Bowl champion Leonard Marshall joins us to discuss CTE, PTSD and cannabis as medicine. He talks about the disconnect of benefits for the “pre-98” retirees from the NFL and his current work with Brain Unity Trust. He talks about his work on the movie Concussion and that- in his words- “it didn’t need to get to this point." And then Ricky Williams joins us to discuss goal setting which he credits for how he won the Heisman Trophy and of course his unique relationship and thoughts on cannabis.
