Barak Hardley Art Coach to the Stars

High, Friends! Barak Hardley joins Adam today to talk a little bit about what makes cannabis so special for him, how it cranks the dial, and his mantra each time he smokes.  We also talk at length about creativity, making art, ceasing to be wanderers to become explorers, and so much more. You might know Barak from his guest role on The Office opposite Ed Helms, John Krasinski, and the whole Office cast, when he starred as Gideon [https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/Gideon], a PhD candidate studying North America's diminishing blue collar workforce. Find him on TikTok and Instagram to follow his creativity. You won't regret it.

TikTok Diagnosis with Chris GAD and the Neurodivergent Algorithm

High, friends! Chris GAD (@genericartdad on TikTok) makes content about autism. He might tell you he's the Hank Green meets mental health, or honestly, it's more likely you'll come to that conclusion on your own. Chris writes and performs short form moments in time, usually between an autistic person and an allistic person, as a way to help neurodivergent people recognize themselves and apply the ideas being shared to their own relationships/lives. Chris and I talk about a lot. Creating in general, the drive to have a professional product, helping people with autism understand the allistics they have relationships, and we tackle a bit of a big question: Is autism a problem to be fixed? If you enjoy Chris' short form content, you will love this conversation and the one that is to come when Chris joins for another episode soon.

Lee Cleaveland the Cyborg Man and His Lefthand Band

Lee Cleaveland is a lot of things: Amazing guitarist and musician, limb difference advocate, cyborg (by his own admission). Lee's song "Daddy's Got a Med Card" is what drew my attention to his band, Lee Cleaveland and the Lefthand Band. They're a bluesy, punkish, kinda Mumford and Sons...sometimes. I like listening to Lee's records because it doesn't feel like just one genre. They are often just a collection of good music.  Light up something good and listen in for some previews of the tunes we're speaking on, and be sure to check out the links to where you can check Lee out at below.

Let’s Get High and Read The Bible with Leif Andersen of Vendetta Red

High, Friends! You'll notice right away that today the format of the show has changed pretty drastically, and my conversation with Leif starts immediately. Trying some new things out; throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. You know how it goes. My guest today, Leif Andersen, hosts an amazing podcast called, "Let's Get High and Read the Bible." His co-host, Geoff Reading, couldn't join today, but Leif and I have a great conversation that spans everything from his start in music listening to a church camp counselor play Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, road life while touring in bands, and how life in green rooms led to his fascination with smoking weed, reading the bible, and the entertaining show he hosts. If you have any kind of Christian faith background, this is an episode you'll want to hear. LINKS High, Friends!
