We went west. Northwest. And we found some pretty awesome stuff. Beautiful scenery and a beautiful lifestyle. Centered on the culture of the outdoors. Hiking, climbing, camping, and adventure. Seattle has a lot to offer the creative and artistic spirit. That’s where we met Todd. A talented designer and artist who encapsulates that deep and wide outdoor ideal in his creation. Fun, approachable, quirky, outdoorsy, and brilliant. That’s why adventure brand REI came south to recruit this talented, curious and unique artist who sees things differently. It seems he actually drew his life into existence.  Where does it come from? Why does he do it? And what makes Todd Durkee tick? Well, let’s find out. Atlanta to Seattle, here we come.

Artists are all around us. Maybe they left the corporate world for their artistic alter ego, or maybe they have always chased a life in art. From painter to artisan, designer to welder, photographer to writer, these are inspiring stories about unlocking the creativity inside us all. We dive in to find out how they do it, why, what they sacrifice and what they can teach us about ourselves. What muse or demons drive them to push their art form forward? And how they invent, innovate and create every day with passion and energy remaining wild at art.

Asha Basha Duniani is an actress, dancer, and painter. She recently starred as Nia in Synchronicity Theater's 2 women production of In the Continuum in Atlanta.  This is where we pick up her story. We met Asha at the Atlanta Jazz Festival over a game of Bocce and were immediately captivated by this vivacious young actor. We saw her performance of In the Continuum, and the power and magic of her portrayal of Nia, and several other diverse characters, is beyond description. This episode is a back stage pass to what goes on in the mind of a performer, and what drives one to walk out onto that stage, in front of everyone. She says that she lives by Stanislavski’s quote "Love the Art and Not yourself in the Art." Enjoy a heart warming conversation with the one and only... Asha Basha.

Food Life with Ellie Krieger

In this episode we talk to an up and coming band called TopHouse. It’s a four man show featuring Jesse Davis, Joe Larson, William Cook, and Andy LaFavre. Now residing in Nashville, they hail from Montana and their music is a soulful mix of mountains, blue grass, and folk, with Irish undertones. We caught their show at a great Atlanta venue, Smith’s Old Bar, for a sold-out performance. Their hit, Number One is trending on Instagram reels and it seems they have hit a tipping point with the new LP called Campfire Stories. Listen now as we get to know a great band, and great group of guys who are clearly on their way up.
