This is a podcast about belief, embracing risk as a business owner and being open to creative opportunities despite lingering imposter syndrome.
Today we bring you an inspiring conversation with muralist Daren Todd who transitioned in to art after his boss told him to go and follow what made him happy. From painting fences for free to a collaboration with IKEA there are plenty of ideas here to help you think more expansively about how your art can impact people around you, your community, and why it really matters.
Key takeaways: keeping a short line from idea to implementation, continuing to experiment with new ideas and ways to bring your art to people, the importance of referrals and getting known for one thing and why 4hrs spent on SEO could really be am afternoon well spent.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
