"You’ve got to put yourself out on the edge of the cliff, waiting to catch the wind."
<p>The artist is present</p><p>There’s something incredibly special about recording a conversation in a podcast guest’s own home. For this episode, I was lucky enough to sit with Australian artist and illustrator Jeremy Ley in his studio, which is attached to the beautiful home he shares with his partner and two children in Kerobokan, Bali. During our conversation, Jeremy often picked up books or artworks he’d created, or pointed to boxes of memorabilia from his mum and his late wife. It was like having a brief and beautiful glimpse into his spectacularly creative and philosophical brain, and I feel so much richer for the experience.During our long conversation (which felt, in real time, as though it took only a few minutes!), Jeremy and I covered so many topics, including: * Jeremy’s early travels with his parents * The life and death of his beloved mother* The birth of his beautiful sons and the tragic death of their mum in her early thirties* His ability to put himself in the path of golden opportunities* His work in books, aged care and a hugely successful Australian start-up* His approach to life and travel* His openness to finding love and happiness after lossDo check out <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/jeremyley.artist/">Jeremy’s Instagram</a> to see more of his work.Please enjoy this conversation with the wonderful Jeremy Ley.</p><p><strong>And I’d love to hear your stories too</strong></p><p>If anything in this episode inspires you to see the world a little differently or to expand your own horizons in any way, I’d love to hear from you. Please drop a note in the comments or send me a message about a story you’d like to share. Every heart-squeeze and comment makes it more likely that someone else might happen upon a conversation that might just widen their world.</p><p><strong>MUSIC:</strong> Defining Life, by Bill Conn</p><p><strong>PHOTOGRAPHY:</strong> Michelle Neeling</p><p><strong>Written and produced by Michelle Neeling</strong></p><p><p>Oblivious Witness is a reader-supported publication.

"Change is hard for me but I love the idea of a new life."
