In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with poet Buddy Wakefield, whose work blurs the line between lived experience and lyrical revelation. Through stories of serendipity, Buddy shares how chance encounters and unexpected turns have shaped both his life and his poetry.

We explore how poetry is not reserved for the few but is within reach for all of us to understand the quiet patterns hidden in everyday life. Buddy reflects on how guardrails, both chosen and circumstantial, guide us toward happiness and how meditation grounds us for points of connection.

Join us for a conversation about the beauty of finding poetry in the ordinary.

In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with stand-up comedian Trey Mack, who brings more than ten years of experience to the stage with optimism, discipline, and a clear sense of direction. Trey has found his voice by trusting feedback, grounding himself in everyday life, and shaping those experiences into comedy that resonates with authenticity.

We talk about the realities of being a full-time comedian, the balance of humility and boldness, and how timing, rhythm, and stage presence create moments that feel effortless but demand years of work. Trey also shares how documenting his journey, preparing for a special, and staying rooted in family keep him moving forward with clarity.

In this episode of the Create Series, I sit down with tattoo artist Jeb Maykut, whose mastery of Japanese and geometric styles reflects a devotion to craft and tradition. Jeb approaches tattooing as a ritual, where every step of his process is guided by intent, creating a space that belongs not only to him, but to his clients as well.

We explore how his work builds long-term relationships, shaped by the commitment of full-body pieces and the trust they require. Jeb shares why he identifies as a craftsman rather than an artist, how tattooing bridges history, identity, and meaning, and the ways pain, presence, and body awareness are woven into the experience.

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Recover Series, I sit down with filmmaker Patrick Shen, director of In Pursuit of Silence, a meditative documentary exploring our complex and often overlooked relationship with silence. Nearly a decade since the film's release, we reflect on how his understanding of silence has evolved and continues to offer insight, challenge, and calm in a noisy world.

Patrick shares how his filmmaking invites reflection rather than resolution. In this film, silence is both subject and experience, prompting us to consider the quiet power of movement, how silence reveals itself through stillness, and how this absence of noise becomes a presence guiding us toward deeper attention, connection, and care.

Join us for a conversation that lingers in the in-between spaces where sound gives way to stillness, and silence becomes a practice in listening, healing, and being.

In this episode of the Recover Series, I sit down with the owner of the local board game shop, House Rules, Stephen Callaghan. In conversation, Stephen reimagines what it means to gather, play, and connect. From the board game recommendation menu to the thoughtful layout of the store, every detail is designed to spark curiosity, lower the barrier to entry, and create a sense of belonging whether you're a seasoned gamer or a curious newcomer.

We explore how board games can offer more than just entertainment. They create a structured space for creativity, vulnerability, and relationship-building. Around the table, people face uncertainty, navigate different learning styles, and connect through shared rules and unspoken cues. Game nights become more than events. They're opportunities to recover joy, build community, and practice new ways of thinking, relating and communicating.

Join us for a conversation on play, presence, and how board games can help us recover the space to be curious, imperfect, and connected.

In this episode of the Recover Series, I sit down with the founding members of a local run crew: Oak Cliff Running Crew (OCRC), a group redefining what it means to run in community. Unlike traditional running clubs, this crew embraces the word "crew" to reflect something more open, grounded, and communal. It's not about competition or exclusivity. It's about showing up, moving together, and creating connections.

We explore how running can be more than just a physical activity; it can support social health, push us out of isolation, and teach us the value of teamwork. By focusing on the simple act of "showing up," the founders have distilled their mission into something accessible and powerful using running to bring people together and build lasting community.

Join us for a conversation on movement, belonging, and how the running rhythm can help us recover our connection to ourselves and others.

In this episode of the 'Recover' Series, I sit down with Cristina Chan and Timothy Murphy of SoCal Surf Therapy, two surf therapists who are using the ocean as a powerful space for healing and growth. While their work often includes individuals with special needs, their approach to surf therapy reaches a wide range of people, showing just how universal the connection to water can be.

Cristina and Timothy share how the ocean offers more than a physical outlet. It becomes a mirror for emotional clarity, personal connection, and community. They reflect on the belief that we are not divided by land but connected by water and how this perspective shapes their work and lives.

Together, we explore how surf therapy teaches us patience, humility, and the deep human need for connection not only with ourselves but with nature and the people around us. Whether you're a surfer or not, this conversation invites you to think differently about wellness, inclusion, and the power of water to heal.

Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring dive into the waves of human connection.

Rounding out our 'train' series is personal trainer and coach of 20+ years, Andy Vincent.

Defining personal training involves reflecting on the experience and knowledge one has gathered over a span of time in the field. In addition, the role a trainer plays in a client's fitness journey extends past just offering a "workout regime" and "meal plan". This ever-growing profession, now more than ever, is starting to make a greater impact on how we can all personally deal with our own health in the gym, therefore, redefining the role: personal trainer, into coach?

On our season finale, we hear Andy share the road he and many trainers like him encounter when helping people get fit. From London to Ibiza and New York to LA, Andy has worked and seen first hand the different markets the world has to offer a trainer.

The opportunities can be endless and the lifespans can be short, however, those who manage to forge a career as a personal trainer can prove themselves to be valuable resources in a saturated profession full of gym selfie models and fitness gurus.

Bodybuilding has been a point of entry for many in the fitness industry. The role aesthetics has over the sport is essential for creating symmetry and balance, but many might not recognize the conditioning it takes to endure the time to produce an elite physique for competition.

Bodybuilder and Ex-Royal Marine Commando, Toby Richards, shares the aspects of bodybuilding that are rarely highlighted in the sport, endurance. What could be seen as a superficial result, also has depth. The 'look good, feel good' mentality runs deeper than just what we see on the surface. It's a truth that leads many to realize internal motivators result the external outcomes we want.
