the Artisan Rogue

I go just a little blue on talking about networking in this episode, but sit back and hopefully enjoy my take on this whole networking thing. Many thanks to my comic creating buddies online, and at shows that gave me the idea for this episode!

You ever heard the phrase "Get a Real Job!"? Well I have, and it's not the best thing to hear. There's probably a lot of reasons, and I talk about a few of those (I also inadvertently recorded my foster puppy barking a bit during this session, excuse that).

I ramble on the subject of how employment might be a state of mind. Is it the end of the world, or is it the beginning of making a new path for yourself? I analyze,... no, I ponder and think about how my life has changed since I was laid off.

Stress can be a killer, literally. Thankfully there are some things that can help alleviate it, unfortunately, I only know a few, and none of them involve a trip to Fantasy Island...

Change comes at you like a bad aftertaste, but it's up to you with how you cope, deal, roll with, overcome, or maybe even work with it. Also, I lose my day job, and actually don't do what most people do and lose my $%#@ over it...

I don't think there are any of us that don't wonder what dreams are or why we have them. But more importantly, how much do they influence us?

It started out as a podcast about Depression as an artist, but then I realized I wanted to speak about Happiness, and how you can maybe find it, no matter who you are.

In this episode, I give a general overview of my thoughts on holding down multiple jobs and offer up a little advice on what worked for me, and what was disastrous.

Today in Paris, France, the myriad definitions of humanity were on display.

Sometimes you just gotta drive into that creative block. In a truck.
