Sally Windle - Arts Educator and Oil Painter
If you discovered the importance of your relationship with art as someone coming of age in Lima, Ohio in the late 90’s and 2000’s, odds are good that you have Sally Windle to thank for that. Is that a bit too hyper specific of a demographic to entice you? Well how about a story about how Bill Gates is responsible for derailing the direction of a school system over a million dollar “buyout”? It’s pretty wild. But in all seriousness, my high school art teacher, Ms. Windle was kind enough to spend an afternoon over the recent holidays reminiscing through her journey as an arts educator and how that impacted the arts and arts education in a small Ohio city often written off as nothing more than uncultured, flyover state “MAGA country”.

Brenden Davis - Sketch Comedy and Video Producer
The pea to my pod, the corn to my field, the needle to my thread… whatever all that means, today’s guest is Brendan Davis, a fellow “Renaissance Creative” (I just labeled us with that term) who can’t stop himself from trying to do it all. In this interview we focus mostly on his work in long-form sketch comedy video production with his production and writing crew Mazel Tov Cocktail. He’ll take us through the journey of leaning on creativity and comedy during long-term health struggles to forging his own path toward working independently with a creative team he loves in Savannah, Georgia’s burgeoning improv and comedy scene. Oh and we also have this other podcast we do together called Yeti or Not. Did we mention that? Want to come on the podcast? Have a friend I should talk to? Want to just say what’s up? Get in touch!

Wonder Brown - Poet and Rapper
Poet and Rapper, Wonder Brown’s compelling and vulnerable story-telling about his journey of discovering himself and his love for words is full of so many fascinating ups and downs that will surely aid any creative person in their pursuit to grow and get better. We discuss his struggles of abuse in a young marriage, finding escape in rap music after an upbringing that left him feeling unsafe and struggling for connection, finding his connection through words and poetry… and all the ups and downs that came along even after that. Not to mention what should be obvious to everyone at this point: That Kendrick Lamar is a much better role model and more thoughtful artist than Ye. We all already knew that a long time ago I hope. Right? Don’t be afraid or dissuaded by the runtime on this episode! We’re building the anti-Joe Rogan Experience over here on Get Better. We’re exploring the idea of men getting vulnerable and nuanced in long form recorded conversation in a way that reconstructs healthy masculinity instead of turning young men into uninformed, arrogant, self-righteous reactionaries. At least I hope thats what comes across. Anyway, share this with your brother, your boyfriend, your nephew, your dad, or whoever. Want to come on the podcast? Have a friend I should talk to?
