Episode 46 - Jeffrey Holst

Lindsey Dinneen: Hello, and welcome to Artfully Told, where we share true stories about meaningful encounters with art.

[00:00:06] Krista: I think artists help people have different perspectives on every aspect of life.

[00:00:12]Roman:  All I can do is put my part in to the world.

[00:00:15] Elizabeth: It doesn't have to be perfect the first time. It doesn't have to be perfect ever really. I mean, as long as you, and you're enjoying doing it and you're trying your best, that can be good enough.

[00:00:23] Elna: Art is something that you can experience with your senses and that you just experiences as so beautiful. 

[00:00:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Hello. And welcome back to another episode of Artfully Told. I'm your host Lindsey, and I am very excited to have as my guest today, Jeffrey Holst. He's a real estate investor, a recovering attorney, and a podcaster. And I just can't wait to hear all about your background, Jeffrey, and all the different stories that you have to share.

I don't think it's significantly different than than any kind of performance- based art. But yeah, so I practice law. I, I mean, I, I started started practicing law in 2007 and I did it because I wanted to make money. I didn't do it because I loved it. And that's why I'm a recovering attorney. Now I recognized that, you know, you need to do things that you love and enjoy with your life. And so that's how I got out of law, but there's a, sort of a long story about how I ended up where I'm at that I'm happy to share with you, if you have the time for that. So.

[00:02:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Yeah.

[00:02:09] Jeffrey Holst: So the short version of the long story --how's that --is that I, I was going to community college. I was in my third year of a two-year program because I r
