I Made This! A Creative's Podcast delves into the world of creativity by featuring interviews with creators. Each episode explores the guest's artistic journey, their unique creative process, the challenges they face, and everything in between

"The Process is the Point" with Justin Holcomb
This week I am joined by my cousin, Justin Holcomb. Most of my memories of him are either making music or making me laugh to the point of tears. In this episode, we talk about how The Beatles' "Let it Be" opened his eyes to music, the unique position he was in early on to write and perform in the church, and how his ability to create evolved leaving that environment, finding sobriety, and peeling back the layers of his creative mark in the world. This was such a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
