Explore who you are and can become through openness, risk, reflection, and conversation.
I talk with artists and other creatives in a wide range of disciplines - from painting, photography, and writing to furniture and automotive restoration, entrepreneurship, and stage performance - to discover what drives them and what they reveal about themselves through their work.
Listen to these conversations and find what you need to take one step, then one more step in your own life. One step after the other makes the journey.

One of the things that really struck me during my conversation with Steven was when he said: "People don't want work that is difficult."
In anticipation of speaking with artist, poet, and philosopher Steven Seidenberg, I explored two of his pieces in particular, one literary and one visual: Coda and Kanazawa Vacancy. My experiences with these two works inspired a lot of our conversation, as well as years at university reading philosophical texts I read over and over to try and understand.
As Steven explains, it's not easy to create pieces that people might find confusing. But through struggle we generate meaning. Even better if we can let go of the need to 'understand' and instead open up and read a book, or look at a series of photographs, and discover what meanings may emerge.

Episode 138 Philipp
Entrepreneur, consultant, writer, and founder of Serapex, Philipp explains that our existential fears of life and fear of death are our primary drivers. He helps people uncover the deeper meaning and purpose that underlie their fears, so they can reframe those fears and determine the best ways to work through them.
Through his experience in design, branding, and strategy as well as study of existential psychology, Philipp developed insights that are meaningful to a broad audience, including his conviction that the real art is the act of becoming the artist - someone who creates - rather than whatever is created, which is just a by-product of the process.
To quote from Philipp's latest post on substack (18 Sep 2026):
Don't panic. Hold the line. Create the multi-layered art that is locked up in your soul right now.
