Off the Record: The Real Talk Podcast - "Redefining Stability — Is Comfort Holding You Hostage?"
What happens when the job that looks like success starts feeling like a cage?
In this episode of Off the Record: The Real Talk Podcast, I sit down with world-renowned artivist Nikkolas Smith — a former Disney Imagineer who left comfort behind to become a powerful voice for justice and change. His work has been featured in TIMES Magazine, and he is a New Your Times #1 Best Selling Picture Book Illustrator for his incredible work on the 1619 Project: Born on the Water.
Nikkolas, an artivist, is known around the world not just as an artist — but as an artivist — using digital painting to amplify messages of racial justice, resistance, and hope. Listen in now to learn more!
We talk about: 🔹 Leaving the safety of corporate life 🔹 Finding your voice through art and advocacy 🔹 Choosing purpose over predictability 🔹 The real cost — and real reward — of a meaningful pivot
If you’ve been sitting in a space that no longer serves who you’re becoming, this episode is your wake-up call.
🎧 Listen now and reflect: What are you calling stability that might actually be stagnation?
