In this episode I reflect on the realization I had today about keeping the spark alive between me and my creative projects.
This is a monologue about how much work I’m realizing being a producer actually is. Onward and upward....
And not just peering out into the void. A story about how my anger turned into connection, and why art is so amazing.
