The benevolent Billy B came onto the podcast and we learned about how he’s trying to change the world through creativity and setup a creative technologists conference, Blur. We also cover venture capital, the patron scene in Memphis, social movements, and we go in depth to see how a creative social activist develops over time.

Episode #009: Shannon Cable | Shove it designs
Awesome human being and just a well rounded person, Shannon Cable came onto the podcast and blew our minds with Buddhism, growing up in contrasting cultures, invention through necessity, the generation behind Shove It Designs, and skater culture in Memphis. Plus, we managed to once again debate the finer points of Basquiat, can’t be tired of that yet.
Episode #008: Leandra Urrutia, sculptor | MCA
Leandra Urrutia, accomplished drafter, sculptor, teacher, eternal student, and Memphis Roller Derby girl. All kinds of nuggets and recurring themes. Market yourself, no one else will. Never stop learning, constantly push to progress more. Respect those who teach or else we’ll be without them. Also, being an artist, it takes a toll on the body, so be careful.
