In this heartfelt episode, I had the chance to reconnect with my dear friend and discuss the importance of Native American representation in media and the bonds of family. We reminisced about our shared experiences with my late uncle, Gary, who played a significant role in our lives. He instilled in us the importance of taking in the light and love in the darkness. Listen in as we honor our heritage and the love that's shown through our people's unique way of gifting.

We also took a trip down memory lane, reflecting on the challenges we faced while trying to make a movie in grad school. Despite the tribalism, arrogance, entitlement, and lack of support we encountered, we found strength in our mentor, Adam Beach, and the power of music. We acknowledged the importance of overcoming adversity and the transformative effect of travel on our lives.

Lastly, we expressed our gratitude for the support received from friends and companies like JPS Computers and SMP Ink We discussed the impact of teaching, making art, and learning to play guitar on our personal and professional growth. Through it all, we've learned the value of having a specific goal in mind when pursuing a career and the significance of perseverance in achieving our dreams. Join us for this inspiring conversation about family, representation, and the journey to success.
