Yoshino has been a professional photographer in LA for a long time, and during a rut in his personal life and art practice, he started a podcast to re-inspire himself. That podcast is now one of the bigger arts podcasts in the world, and he has built a career and company out of it. In true Yoshino style, he flips the interview and gets host Jacob Patterson to open up about some personal topics and open relationship beliefs he's never shared in public. 6:03- Are you editing your show yourself, or do you have someone else doing it? 7:05- Jacob talks about interviewing people 8:04- Do you have a starting point when you are getting ready to interview somebody? 9:45- Have you been intimidated to interview anybody? 11:04- Yoshino talks about how much research he does prior to interviewing people 12:26- Check out Yoshino’s podcast Artist Decoded https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/artist-decoded-by-yoshino/id1036675582?mt=2 https://www.instagram.com/artistdecoded http://www.artistdecoded.com/ 12:37- Trump Rally Sean Dunne http://www.veryape.tv/trumprally/ Check out Artist Decoded Episode #45 with Sean Dunne http://artistdecoded.libsyn.com/rss 15:12- Psychedelic experiences 17:30- Jacob talks about his psychedelic trip 19:40- Scott Hove https://www.instagram.com/scotthove http://cakefangs.com/ Listen to Artist Real Talk episode 9 with Scott Hove here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-r-t-artists-real-talk/id1159607075?mt=2&i=1000379211211 28:32- Do you take psychedelics in a ceremonial way or celebratory way? 31:02- Annihilation with Natalie Portman directed by Alex Garland http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2798920/ 33:04- Sphere Directed by Barry Levinson http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120184/ 35:10 Jacob talks about how he respects Yoshino for the way he into films with respect and thought 36:02: Yoshino talks about how he has a deep respect for writers and directors of film 36:38- Eyes Wide Shut Directed by Stanley Kubrick http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120663/ 37:18- http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/stanley-kubrick 39:40- Yorgos Lanthimos http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0487166/ 40:20- The Killing of a Sacred Deer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5715874/?ref_=nm_knf_i2 The Lobster http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3464902/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_3 41:06- David Lynch https://twitter.com/DAVID_LYNCH http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 41:19- Twin Peaks http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098936/ 42:07- Jacob talks about the first time he realized he wanted to be an artist 43:57- Jacob talks about selling sandwiches for lunch when he was younger 47:41- Yoshino asks Jacob one of the strangest things he’s been asked on a first date 51:49- Yoshino goes into detail about wanting to start a relationship podcast 53:29- Yoshino asks Jacob what makes you want to be in open relationships? 1:05:59- Rebelling against a Christian background 1:07:27- Jacob talks about his new mindset with current relationships 1:08:31- Jealousy Vs Compersion 1:10:05- Chris Ryan https://chrisryanphd.com/ https://chrisryanphd.com/tangentially-speaking/ Sex At Dawn https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813/ref=sr_1_1_ha?ie=UTF8&qid=1374715948&sr=8-1&keywords=sex%20at%20dawn&tag=vglnkc8015-20 The Ethical Slut https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0399579664&pd_rd_r=RW6DKGKQ05CV4NB1DXPF&pd_rd_w=3NibM&pd_rd_wg=BUERi&psc=1&refRID=RW6DKGKQ05CV4NB1DXPF 1:12:57- What are you working on now, besides the podcast? 1:13:12- Yoshino goes into detail about his podcast and how he met his partner https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/artist-decoded-by-yoshino/id1036675582?mt=2 1:14:34- Norberto Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/norbertoinc https://twitter.com/norbertoinc http://www.norber.to/ 1:14:41- Quite Mornings event at MOCA https://www.instagram.com/MuseumofMeaning https://www.facebook.com/events/2156119737747892/ 1:17:01- Do you guys have a contract? 1:18:47- https://www.instagram.com/nohwave http://www.nohwave.co/ 1:19:21- What things do you do for music festivals? 1:20:09- how do you as a producer support Justin when he takes on another project?
