In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with poet Buddy Wakefield [https://www.instagram.com/buddywakefield/], whose work blurs the line between lived experience and lyrical revelation. Through stories of serendipity, Buddy shares how chance encounters and unexpected turns have shaped both his life and his poetry. We explore how poetry is not reserved for the few but is within reach for all of us to understand the quiet patterns hidden in everyday life. Buddy reflects on how guardrails, both chosen and circumstantial, guide us toward happiness and how meditation grounds us for points of connection. Join us for a conversation about the beauty of finding poetry in the ordinary. This is poet : undefined with Buddy Wakefield [https://www.instagram.com/buddywakefield/].

stand-up comedian : undefined

In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with stand-up comedian Trey Mack [https://www.instagram.com/iamtreymack/?hl=en], who brings more than ten years of experience to the stage with optimism, discipline, and a clear sense of direction. Trey has found his voice by trusting feedback, grounding himself in everyday life, and shaping those experiences into comedy that resonates with authenticity. We talk about the realities of being a full-time comedian, the balance of humility and boldness, and how timing, rhythm, and stage presence create moments that feel effortless but demand years of work. Trey also shares how documenting his journey, preparing for a special, and staying rooted in family keep him moving forward with clarity. Join us for a conversation about voice, family, and the joy of shaping life’s experiences into something worth laughing at.

In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with Jacob Tran [https://www.instagram.com/jacob_tran/], a creative agency founder (iso400 [https://www.instagram.com/iso400.club/]) who describes himself as a “hyper creative.” With a bright and curious approach, Jacob offers refreshing insight into what it means to build structure around creativity while keeping perspective at the center. We explore how slowing down the process allows for clarity, personal wins, and the ability to see projects through to the end—landmarks that fuel future work. Jacob shares his thoughts on the challenges of leading a creative agency, the influence of family on his own creative path, and how curiosity, collaboration, and even AI shape the future of creative work. Join us for a conversation on building teams, balancing vision with execution, and embracing the structures that allow creativity to thrive.

tattoo artist : undefined

In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with tattoo artist Jeb Maykut [https://www.instagram.com/jebmaykut/?hl=en], whose mastery of Japanese and geometric styles reflects a devotion to craft and tradition. Jeb approaches tattooing as a ritual, where every step of his process is guided by intent, creating a space that belongs not only to him, but to his clients as well. We explore how his work builds long-term relationships, shaped by the commitment of full-body pieces and the trust they require. Jeb shares why he identifies as a craftsman rather than an artist, how tattooing bridges history, identity, and meaning, and the ways pain, presence, and body awareness are woven into the experience. Join us for a conversation on craft, connection, and the creative depth of tattooing, where the lines between ritual, art, and identity blur into something enduring.

in pursuit of silence : undefined

In this episode of the Recover Series, I sit down with filmmaker Patrick Shen [https://www.instagram.com/patshen/], director of In Pursuit of Silence [https://www.pursuitofsilence.com], a meditative documentary exploring our complex and often overlooked relationship with silence. Nearly a decade since the film's release, we reflect on how his understanding of silence has evolved and continues to offer insight, challenge, and calm in a noisy world. Patrick shares how his filmmaking invites reflection rather than resolution. In this film, silence is both subject and experience, prompting us to consider the quiet power of movement, how silence reveals itself through stillness, and how this absence of noise becomes a presence guiding us toward deeper attention, connection, and care. Join us for a conversation that lingers in the in-between spaces where sound gives way to stillness, and silence becomes a practice in listening, healing, and being.
