This week, I'm talking with James Huizar. We discuss his career journey through visual art, non-profits, and startups.
James, an accomplished visual artist, recently participated in Flat Stock 92 at South by Southwest this year. Listen as we discuss his background in studio art from the University of Texas at Austin, his professional growth through various roles, including stints at the Mexicarte Museum here in Austin and the Douseum in San Antonio, TX, and his pivot to working at a startup.
We talk about the differences between workplace cultures, explore his personal challenges and learning experiences, examine the evolution of his art, and discuss how he successfully balances his passion projects with his other professional obligations.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
