Join Stef as he sits down with returning guest Akeen Kidder, better known as The Yarn Art Guy—an artist who walked away from a career in engineering to pursue his passion full-time. This episode is part of The Forgotten Ones, a series that revisits past guests to see what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and how life has unfolded since we last spoke.
We talk about:
- What happens when your dream event doesn’t go as planned
- Learning to blend data with gut instinct as a creative
- Reinventing his display and mindset after a failed art show
- The power of real-world networking and showing up
- Why communication is everything when chasing big goals
- Using yarn art to inspire kids, communities, and even prison reform
- The emotional journey from stable job to full-time artist
- Why creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for mental health
